QUOTING FRESHMAN MANUELA LIZARAZU
I am really excited with my result this week. I managed to stay calm during rough times and took advantage of good shots to make 17 birdies. My mind was in the right place, I was feeling really confident, and my teammates were always pumping me up. All this together helped me have one of the best tournaments of my career, finishing under par for the tournament and having new goals moving forward.”

QUOTING SOPHOMORE BRETT PERMANN
“It was fun to see the hard work I’ve been putting in pay off this week. I did a really good job of staying positive all tournament, something coach has challenged me to do a better job of this semester, and that helped me let go of every shot and be present. My teammates and coaches encouraged and challenged me all week. It was fun and exciting to break my previous collegiate tournament total by seven shots in my home state.”
