QUOTABLES
"Overall I was very pleased with how the team played. A few of the girls started off a little shaky but then settled down. Our ball striking was good unfortunately we had a few misses that left us in very tough spots to save par. We did a great job with our speed control on the greens. Lots of positives to build on for day two and we look forward to improving our team score." - Head Coach Breanne Hall
