// COACH CARL ON THE BEARCATS
"The girls didn't adapt to the quicker greens early and got behind the eight ball," said head coach Janet Carl. "While they made good decisions and executed well, their putting hurt them today. Our focus today was par 5's and we played them much better than yesterday. Unfortunately, that is golf and it requires you to put it all together. The team has nothing to lose tomorrow, so we will see what they can do."
// SUNDAY'S FINAL ROUND
Third-round play will begin Sunday with a 10 a.m. ET shotgun start. UC will be paired with Minnesota and Charlotte. Follow along with the Bearcats through live scoring.
