QUOTABLES
"Today was a solid performance. As a team we were 2-over on the front nine. We made a few mistakes on holes 10-15, but everyone regained their composure and finished strong. Linna's eagle on hole No. 3 really helped get the momentum rolling and everyone was feeding off that. We are looking forward to finishing the tournament strong tomorrow." - Head Coach Breanne Hall
