// COACH CARL ON THE BEARCATS
"This event was an opportunity to continue to knock the rust off after coming out of the winter. We saw some good play from all individuals, which we are pleased with. We still have many things to work on. When we get back, we'll have a couple days to get ready for our next tournament in Memphis. Great job by Amalia with her top-5 finish."
