Eric Tanguay, golf coach for SNC Tahoe, is proud of his team's accomplishment, as it was the first ever Cal Pac championship victory for the Eagles.

"After dreaming about this day for the last four years," said Tanguay, "and having come so close the last two, it's hard to believe this really happened. The team had to work harder than every other school in our conference to earn the championship title, and I am so proud of our boys."
