QUOTABLES
"We got off to another slow start today, but finished strong. Four of our five players improved their score on the second nine. We need to do a better job minimizing our mistakes early in the round. I thought we did a pretty good job with club selection and ball flight control in the windy conditions. The greens were firm so we need to make sure we are landing our approach shots short of the pin. Looking forward to coming back strong tomorrow. " - Head Coach Breanne Hall
