TOP QUOTE
"It went well today," head coach Jay Goble said. "Laura Lonardi feels very confident when she plays match play. She won all three of her matchups. Lauren Whyte also played well in her first tournament, and I'm really proud of her. This tournament is the same format as the National Championship, and the only difference between nationals and this is that we will have two more days of stroke play, but the girls played really well on the stroke play part of the tournament as well."

WHAT'S NEXT
The Lady Bears play their final regular-season tournament of the spring season in Tempe, Ariz., at the three-day Ping ASU Invitational, which begins April 10. Live scoring will be available at www.golfstat.com. Follow @BaylorWGolf on twitter for updates throughout the season.
