CATCHING UP WITH COACH DOELL:
"I'm very proud of how the team played this week. This is the strongest field that we will see all year and we are able to get some wins that will help boost our team ranking as the season goes on. It was great to see Riana play well, especially with her solid round of 68 to get a top 15 finish against some of the best players in the nation. We have identified some areas that we will continue to work on as we look forward towards our next event in Hawaii."
 
UP NEXT:
USF will have the next two weeks off as the Dons will return to action at the Anuenue Spring Break Classic at Ka'Anapali Royal Golf Course in Maui from Mar. 27-29. Live results for the tournament will be available via the team's schedule page.
