QUOTING COACH MENZEL
“We did not put not put together the finish we were hoping for but we had some solid take always this week. Riley’s round yesterday and her 13th place finish gave us some great momentum. Shannyn was very steady and the whole team is showing stretches of solid golf. We will work to keep cleaning things up. This young group is working hard and we are looking forward to bouncing back stronger this next week in South Carolina.”
