FROM THE CLUBHOUSE
"I'm very pleased with our play at this event and our third-place finish. We improved our team score each round and tied for the low team score today to move up two spots in the final round. I'm so proud of the entire team for working hard in their preparation, for their effort throughout the rounds, and their composure through each shot. Special shout-out to Kayla Davis for her fifth-place finish, Sammie Dolce for her 10th place finish, and Olivia Steen for shooting her career low in the third round. There are some great takeaways from this event, including some things we need to get cleaned up on the course before going into our final stretch of the season before MACs. Overall, I am very proud and excited for the team!" - Erin Fahey, women's golf head coach
