QUOTABLES
"In our previous tournament we were able to improve our team score every round, so I am looking forward to building on that momentum. We did a better job at increasing our greens in regulation percentage as a team, but our up and down percentage is still not where it needs to be. We will continue to work hard around the greens over the next few days to prepare for this weekend." - Head Coach Breanne Hall
