Quotes from Head Coach Jackie Booth: "I am please how the girls played today. (round 1-Mar. 14) With the weather and course conditions so difficult it was very easy to shoot a high number. We showed a little rust out of the gate early but rebounded well and are in a good position for tomorrow."

(round 2-Mar.15) "The demeanor of the team was excellent today. Although the round was cancelled we are poised to make a run at the leaders tomorrow."
