// COACH CARL ON THE BEARCATS
"The team played better than the score shows," said head coach Janet Carl, "but sometimes that is just not enough. The players have to learn to be comfortable in uncomfortable situations. They need to choose to believe in themselves as much as we as coaches do and they must decide it is okay to shoot low scores. When they decide to do these things, we will see the talent they have. Tomorrow, with the event being changed to a 36-hole day, they have a long time to catch fire should they choose to believe in themselves." 
 
// MONDAY'S FINAL ROUNDS
Due to inclement weather in the forecast, Monday's format has been changed to 36 holes. The Bearcats will be paired with Wyoming and Texas A&M Corpus Christi and will tee off beginning at 8:30 a.m. The final round will immediately follow the second round on Monday.
