COACHES QUOTESÂ
"I'm proud of the way that the team fought through windy and hot conditions to improve upon yesterday's score. The team had a strong finish as we were 2 under par on the last 5 holes."
"Sam made a remarkable turn around on the day as she birdied 4 of her lat 5 holes after a struggle in the middle of her round. She is showing tremendous leadership both on and off the course as she leads by example while supporting her teammates."
"Joan had a solid turn around after a tough day yesterday and came in with a solid finish parring her last 4 holes. Sitting just a few shots out of third place, I believe we can finish on a strong note tomorrow."
