QUOTING HEAD COACH MEGAN MENZEL
“Definitely not the finish that we were hoping for, but the team battled all the way to the end. I am proud of the freshmen for battling back today. Our seniors represented Iowa well all year and they will be missed. I am excited about our leadership in our junior class and I know they are hungry to guide next year’s team to big things.”
QUOTING IP
“Today, I got into a few more challenging positions with my approach shots which made for difficult up and downs. I tried to play more aggressively when I could, but in the end, it didn’t pay off as much as I would have liked. This wasn’t the round I would have liked to end my college career on, but I’m proud of my previous rounds and achievements these past four years. Nothing went as expected and I would not have it any other way.”
