From Hailey Joy
"I think as a team we are getting better and better at being consistent. We are so close to a breakthrough, and I can't wait to see it. I think this semester we are going to break our 18-hole scoring record. It's just going to take some more grit and determination."

From Head Coach Ashley Leonard
"I thought we came out of the gate well and made a few early birdies, which is always nice. We kind of stalled in the middle of our round and gave up some shots but, I thought the girls did a good job of really digging in and fighting to the finish. We are looking forward to capping off the event with a solid round tomorrow and building some momentum going into next week."
