// COACH CARL ON THE BEARCATS
"I'm proud of the team for hanging in but we lost a great opportunity for some conference wins this weekend," stated head coach Janet Carl. "This venue is one of the best golf courses we play all year. It is a true championship venue which demands a game play we don't normally use. The good news is that it has shed some light on areas we need to be prepared for come conference tournament time as the golf course will have the same demands as here. We have a short time to regroup, get some short-game work done and prepare for our home event this week at Mission Inn.

// UP NEXT
The Bearcats will next compete at the Bearcat Spring Classic. UC will welcome teams to Howey-in-the-Hills, Fla. from March 20-22.
