Quotables from Coach Emily Kuhfeld
"We improved a little each day, and that was good to see. Our top-3 delivered today, and we are proud of their effort all week! Natalie had a great ball-striking round today and kept patient, which showed growth for her! We have some work to do with our short games before Jacksonville, but we feel good about this start to the fall."
