// COACH CARL ON THE BEARCATS
"Today was a missed opportunity," said head coach Janet Carl. "We had some great chances to finish second but gave it away on the middle six holes. We were in great shape through the first six and played strong the last six but lost it in the middle of the round. We have a week before we head out to Yale and we have a lot of work ahead of us."

The Bearcats will be back in action Oct. 7-9 at the Yale Invitational in New Haven. Connecticut.
