QUOTING HEAD COACH MEGAN MENZEL
“This has been an awesome experience and we feel like we made some good progress in our games this week. Today we played very solid for the first 14 holes and we definitely struggled down the stretch. I am pleased with Stephanie’s 75 today, she struggled on the greens yesterday and came out with a good mindset today. Jessica had another solid week and I know she has some strong golf ahead of her this next month.”
QUOTING IP
“Coming early to practice definitely helped me get more comfortable with the course since it’s bermuda grass and different than what we’re used to. Every day was windy, so it was also good to be able to practice executing different types of shots. I hit the ball well and made some momentum-building putts on the first day, so I was happy with my performance after 36-holes. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to keep that momentum during the last round, but we leave for another tournament in a few days and I’m still feeling good about my game so I’m excited and ready for this next event.”
UP NEXT
The Hawkeyes travel to Tempe, Arizona, to compete in the Arizona State Invitational on March 23-25.
