// COACH CARL ON THE BEARCATS
"There were tough conditions of play today," said head coach Janet Carl. "The winds were much stronger and the hole locations demanded aggressive golf shots. I was very proud of the entire team for sticking to their processes. Tara [Liebert] played great in the conditions. Everyone contributed to our team success. I hope they have learned that they elevated their game by the ranking of the teams we beat. It's time to refocus on what we need to work on for the American Athletic Conference Championship."

The Bearcats will next compete at the 2016 American Athletic Conference Women's Golf Championship, April 17-19, at Hammock Beach Resort - Ocean Course in Palm Coast, Florida.
