Coach Tom Oppedisano: "What an amazing weekend from Sean Hurley's hole in one on a par 4, to Kevin McGough winning the individual title with a final round 66, and to all the great golf played.  We have such a strong league and the cream rose to the top with NYU.  Just have to tip your hat to them.  I'm very proud of this group.  They played well, fought hard and never gave up.  All 12 of our players contributed to the success of the team.  Can't ask for better."
