Quote From Coach Fahey
"I'm really proud of our team for the way they fought through cold and windy conditions. To have the low team score of the day and to move up four spots is a great way to end our first tournament. We showed a lot of poise and fight down the stretch. Congratulations to Averi Mickelson for top 10 finish in her first college event!"
