QUOTABLES
"We got off to a much better start today. We made a few mistakes halfway through the round, but we were able to regain our composure and finish strong. It was exciting to  watch Linna make her eagle on hole No. 7. She had 67 yards to the hole, it hit just left of the pin, took the slope of the green and dropped. It was a strong comeback for us to improve our team score by 15 shots." - Head Coach Breanne Hall
