Head coach Peter Pougnet noted the performance by Kulwin during the tournament and the future for the team moving into post-season play.
“We were carried by [Kulwin’s] play,” Pougnet said. “He’s continuing to get better and better. Outside of Sebastian’s second round where he was sick, he played really well in the first and third rounds, including the round of the day today. I’m excited to keep building and be ready for our last couple events before the [Atlantic 10] Championship.”
The Ramblers head to Semmes, Ala. March 30-31 for the Mobile Bay Intercollegiate hosted by Southern Alabama University.
