"I am really proud of how the team handled themselves today," head coach Rhyll Brinsmead said. "We shot one under on our final nine holes to place ourselves true to our seeding. We also shot our scoring average, which honestly is some great goals in postseason competition. I am particularly proud of Henriette playing her final four holes at 3-under par. Our goal this week is to play our own game as we cannot control the play of anyone else in the field. We had a great time on the course today and I am looking forward to getting back out there tomorrow morning."
