I'm extremely happy for both of them. Roberto had a tremendous experience last year. It's an experience you can't understand until you're involved and have USA on your hat. It's a great opportunity for both of them. And it's a tremendous honor for our program to have two players on this team.

To have a tournament of this magnitude at a facility we feel is the best in the country is very exciting. Knowing and appreciating the commitment and enthusiasm the staff and the members hold toward the event, it makes us feel very comfortable that it will become a very special tournament.
