// QUOTING HEAD COACH DOUG MARTIN
On Osterburg's strong day:
"I'm very happy for Nicolas today. He put together a very solid 36 holes. He has worked very hard this fall and has a great understanding of his game."
On the Bearcats' team performance overall:
"The good was very good today but we just couldn't recover from the bad. We made 36 birdies and one eagle as and team and could only manage to shoot 7-under. That leaves a bad taste in your mouth. We have no one to blame but ourselves. We have done a poor job of closing rounds this fall. We have one more chance tomorrow to close the fall season the right way."
