// COACH CARL ON THE BEARCATS
"I'm really proud of this team," said head coach Janet Carl. "The players fought hard to overcome some nerves early and made some key birdies in the last stretch of holes to pull away from third and fourth-place teams. I'm really proud as we accomplished several goals today."
