// COACH CARL ON THE BEARCATS
"I'm really proud of Tara and Christina's play today," said head coach Janet Carl. "They both played solid from start to finish. I was happy with Val, Anika, and Ashley's fight as they had solid back nines. With that being said, we can't win tournaments without four solid scores. Fortunately, we have two more rounds to keep improving."
