QUOTING COACH MENZEL
“We has some great takeaways from this event. Freshman Jacque Galloway had a break out week and looked very solid in all aspects of her game,” head coach Megan Menzel said. “She has worked extremely hard since showing up on campus in August and it is showing up in competition.”
“Lea showed a great amount of toughness this week and did an outstanding job of bouncing back after a tough first round. Her final round was an outstanding bogey-free 69.” Menzel said.
“We know we can be an outstanding team and we have the depth 1-5 but unfortunately we have to figure out a way to get four scores posted each round. We need each of our players to come out and understand how important their contribution is to each round during the tournament. The team is eager to get back to work and finish the fall season with our best tournament of the fall.” Menzel said.
UP NEXT
