QUOTING HEAD COACH JANET CARL
"We didn't get to finish our second round today, due to lightning and torrential rains, but we are really happy with the way the ladies settled down and were playing the second round better," UC head coach Janet Carl said. "We showed some nerves during the first round.
"Every player is doing some good things," Carl said. "I'm proud of Vanessa and Angela and how they are leading the team as seniors. Par 5 scoring is still hurting us and we have missed too many putts from 6 feet and closer. We're looking forward to tomorrow."
