// COACH CARL ON THE BEARCATS
"The team fought really hard today," said head coach Janet Carl. "They were mentally tough in conditions that were rough. We will need to go out and be in control of our mental game again tomorrow. There are still a lot of golf left to play. Christina's round was a great round given the conditions."
