// HEAD COACH JANET CARL ON THE BEARCATS
"We were very close to a good performance today. Conditions were poor in the morning. The girls were fighting hard. We threw away some shots in the middle of the round, but were able to finish strong at the end. We have some good things to work on before we head to the Clover Cup. It was a good top-20 finish for Alyssa. I am proud of having top-seven scores that beat 10 teams."
