COACH YOUNG QUOTE
"We are thrilled with the outpouring of support we received for the 10th-annual Dolores Black Falcon Invitational! Thank you to everyone who came out to watch, the work of our amazing support staff, volunteers, and the alums for coming back. And a huge thank you to Coach Fahey -- in the midst of the ongoing challenges with COVID, we rallied together to pull off a very special weekend. We are disappointed to have not brought home a team title, but happy with a runner-up finish, a great showing within our conference and a strong tournament field. It was especially sweet to have set the record for lowest score in Falcon Invitational history (and season low) with the opening-round 294. It was very special to honor our graduating senior, Danielle Austinson, and have her whole family in town to watch her compete this weekend! Also, a shoutout goes Amanda Maletich for shooting her career low round of 78 today!"
