Quotable from Head Coach Mimi Burke
"The last two rounds we saw a lot of grit and grind from the team trying to rebound from a poor start. We were capable of being higher up on the leader board this week. After the last two rounds it shows when we piece together three rounds it will be something special. Overall we got a lot of great experience on the West Coast and will grow from this trip. Hail Southern!"
