COACH'S QUOTE
"Course conditions this week were certainly a challenge for us," said head coach Ellie Cronin following Tuesday's final round. "For the first tournament of the season, I always expected a little rust, but we had to battle and grind to shoot the scores we did. There are a lot of positives that we can take away from this week, but plenty that we can work on. The final day, unfortunately, had to be canceled due to wind, if that tells you how tough the conditions were! I'm happy to get some feedback from actually playing outdoors and looking forward to building momentum the rest of this spring."

The Flyers will be traveling to Hilton Head to play in the Low Country Intercollegiate at Moss Creek Golf Club Mar. 21-23.
