COACH'S QUOTE
"Our team fought hard the first day," said head coach Ellie Cronin following Tuesday's final round. "We had a pretty hot first round but conditions were tough Monday afternoon. This type of wind is something we are not used to. It was a bit of a learning curve but that was my intention playing in this event. Colbert Hills is a really good course, playing long distance and a great field to compete against. I am happy the team got to experience a different competitive event during the fall."
