// COACH CARL ON THE BEARCATS

"We have not played to our potential as a team," said head coach Janet Carl. "Tomorrow we must go out and play hard in order to improve our standing. We need four players to step up and play the way we have worked at all year long. If we go out and post a good number, we can end conference play on a positive note."

// TUESDAY'S THIRD ROUND
Final round play will commence Tuesday morning with SMU, Memphis, and UCF teeing off from tee one beginning at 8 a.m. The Bearcats will be in the final grouping with Tulane and Tulsa and will start teeing off from tee 10 at 8:30 a.m. View round three tee times here.
