Georgia Tech Head Coach Bruce Heppler:
"NC State played a great round and I really feel this is the neatest conference in the world to compete in and to win in because you've got teams ranked 1-2-3 (in the nation) here and they're all well-coached teams and they all have good players. It's an honor to win this tournament and it's one of the two goals we have every year.
"I'm real happy for our guys and the way they hung in there. We just didn't get anything going and then it all came here at the end (1 birdie and 2 eagles on hole #18). It's a tribute to their hanging in there and just thinking if you stay in there long enough, something good will happen to you and it did."
North Carolina's Dustin Bray (individual champion):
"I feel alright about my round (even par 72). It was real boring - that pretty much sums it up. My putter kinda shut off on me today - don't know if it was nerves or just mis-reads - probably a little of both.
"It feels great. It's a huge confidence booster. Last year going in the first round I played with the #1 and #3 players in the nation and shot 67 with them and then struggled the rest of the tournament.
"This is the one (tounament) I've wanted to win. Now that I'm done, I'll tell you - this is the one I've wanted to win since I was 10 years old. You start here - this is one stepping stone and to do it in my sophomore year, I'm extremely happy."
