Eph head coach Tomas Adalsteinsson noted, "It was a nervous start to the round today with four of the five players playing their first NCAA National Championship. We settled in towards the middle of the round and hit a lot of great shots. On the last few holes we gave some shots away, so not the opening round we wanted, but we're determined to do better tomorrow."
