Quotables from Coach Emily Kuhfeld
"We played about 45 holes in which we did a really good job managing the pins and managing ourselves out there. The last 9 were a struggle, but the team fought and gave their all. A lot of lessons learned this week, and we have some time together to continue building our short games and course management skills heading into the Sun Belt Championship."

The Eagles tee it up in the Sun Belt Championship April 18-20 at LPGA International in Daytona Beach, Florida.
