UNLV head coach Jean-Paul Herbert spoke about how proud is of his team and how excited he is for the NCAA Championships after qualifying on Wednesday. "Today was what we've been working and preparing for all year – a chance to qualify and compete for a national championship. Our guys believed, they stepped out there and earned it.  I'm very proud of them all." Herbert said. "Caden's play was exceptional from start to finish. We're excited for him to finish off his college career at La Costa, near his hometown of San Diego."

The Rebels will be back on the course eight days from now to compete for the biggest prize in college golf. Fioroni will look to lead the way for UNLV as they compete for a National Championship.
