Quotables from Coach Emily Kuhfeld
"We have a lot of positives to take away from this event. We put ourselves in good position after the first two rounds, and that experience of being in the final group and in the hunt will help this team. Ella and Alberte came through for us with solid top-10s, Savanah gained a lot from this tournament and Sarah and Emma had some experiences that will help them for the rest of the season. We have one day, and then on to Furman for the practice round and another chance to GATA!"
