TOP QUOTE
"Overall, I believe we're getting better as a team," head coach Jay Goble said. "Our results are not ideal, but I truly believe we are starting to see how good we can be if we can just minimize our small mistakes. Maggie Beth has improved every day and was able to shoot a 71 today, and I believe she's moving in a positive direction heading into next week. Laura had a great event. She started over par in every round and was able to grind it out to get back to par all three days. That is the mentality that we are trying to have as a team, and if we can dig deep and get over the small things, it could really be a turning point for our team."
