COACH'S QUOTE
"Today the team struggled across the board with putting," said head coach Sally Kosters after play finished. "Our ball striking was still strong and we were in position many times for birdie putts that turned into bogeys. We will have to do some analysis to see what changed from yesterday to today, we may need to look at our mental game. I am pleased about the talent, skill level and attitude of the team and I know we will do well at Eastern Michigan next week."

UP NEXT
Dayton will take a few weeks over before heading to Ypsilanti, Michigan, for the Shirley Spork Invitational hosted by Eastern Michigan. The two-day event will be held at Eagle Crest Resort Oct. 8-9.
