// COACH CARL ON THE BEARCATS
"The girls never gave up today and they did accomplish our main goal of the day which was to eliminate some of the high numbers," said head coach Janet Carl. "It was a tough golf course and scores were higher for most teams, but that is not acceptable. We are headed into the offseason and have a lot of work to do. In the offseason, we will see who is going to do the work necessary to move the needle on this team this year. They need to get some rest and get caught up in classes to finish our academic goals we set for the fall semester. We must come back out in the winter stronger and be stronger fighters."

With the fall season now complete, the Bearcats will return to competition Feb. 19-20 at the Amelia Island Collegiate in Fernandina Beach, Florida.
