// COACH CARL ON THE BEARCATS
"We will take a top-five finish in our first event of the spring season," said head coach Janet Carl. "We saw some great things out of all the players. Anika, Valentina, Christina, and Ashley all stepped up. We have no doubt that Tara will be back on track at our next event."
"We need to continue our effort over the next few weeks back home. We will continue working on our routines, putting, and wedges play. We will then get 10 days on the road during spring break for two tournaments. We have plenty of prep work to do before heading out West."
// UP NEXT
The Bearcats will next be in competition at the Fresno State Classic in Fresno, California, March 13-14.
