QUOTING HEAD COACH JANET CARL 
"I'm really proud of the way the ladies came back today," UC head coach Janet Carl said. "This is a golf course that really exposes all your weaknesses and we found some we need to work on. We have many small wins to lean on after this event. Katie had a good event. Vanessa dug deep and got her round finished despite not hitting the ball solid.  

"We need to get home and continue to work on our conditioning both mentally and physically. We have some players we need to get healthy too as we work toward our conference championship."
