From Head Coach Ashley Leonard
"We had another solid day and was close to being really good. I am so proud of Victoria for shooting her best collegiate round to date. She was under par most of the day and dealt with the nerves of the moment well. I thought Anna and Grace hung in there today and fought hard through the round. Hailey and Tara continue to be steady through two rounds. I like where we are as a team and know we are very close to doing something special. I am looking forward to tomorrow and seeing the girls come out with some energy and excitement."
