" We struggled right out of the gate then pressed a bit before settling in to finish more like who we have been this year, said head coach Bill Buss". It was good to see the golf course we will play conference at in a few weeks. That should help us prepare to improve in October.  


The Firebirds will be back in action on Friday, September 19, at the Midwest Classic held in Kansasville, Wisconsin. For more information, visit our athletics.carthage.edu.
