The team travels to Morro Bay for a two-day invitational tournamnet put on by Santa Barbara City College starting on Sunday.
"This is the site of the 2014 State Championship Tournament," said IVC coach Ben Burnett. "I asked the team to use Sunday's round to get used to the course and to develop a personal strategy.
"I told them that I would expect their Monday score to improve, if they continued to work on attacking each hole with a plan that utilizes course management and strategy."
