"We're going to try and keep the momentum going. If we can get a few guys to step up we can compete in this field."

Last Time Out
Utah Valley dominated the Mesquite Desert Classic, winning both the individual and team titles. Dane Huddleston secured his third consecutive individual championship with a 14-under-par 202 (65-70-67), winning by two strokes. The Wolverines shot a final-round 6-under-par 282 to finish at 21-under-par 843 (284-277-282), edging host Eastern Kentucky (-18) by three strokes. Zachary Erskine tied for 10th at 3-under-par 213 (77-67-69), while Ryan Seamons finished tied for 13th at 2-under-par 214 (72-71-71). Head coach Chris Curran credited Huddleston's continued dominance and key contributions from the team for the victory. Utah Valley now looks to carry this momentum into its next tournament.

Huddleston Wins Three Straight Tournaments
Dane Huddleston's win at the Mesquite Desert Classic marked his third consecutive individual championship. The sophomore previously won the Utah Shootout (Oct. 14) and the Kapolei Invitational (Oct. 31), solidifying his place as one of the top golfers in the WAC. His final-round 67 in Mesquite sealed both the individual and team titles for Utah Valley.
