Quotable from Head Coach Mimi Burke
"We're really proud of the girls and their performance the last two days. Top 3 in a tough field, at a challenging course, really shows what this team is made of. It was a true team effort this week and a solid showing at our first stop on the west coast. We are looking forward to cleaning up our short games before the weekend and excited for the next opportunity. Hail Southern!"
