Quotable
"Overall the performance today was underwhelming. We generally executed poorly and did not take advantage of the ideal conditions. We actually started very well and through the eighth hole we were cruising, but mental lapses cost us dearly and we struggled on the back nine. Medy put together a decent round and I am proud of Clara's play as an individual. Tomorrow is a new day and we will have a short term memory regarding today's round."
- Kennesaw State Head Coach Rhyll Brinsmead
