Coach's Comments: Chris Adams
"We had it going and mid round that changed a lot. I think we just ran out of gas a little, but we left it all out there. This was a great event and we are so happy to have been a part of the inaugural National Golt Invitational. It was great to see our three seniors in the top 21 in Taylor, Molly and Catherine.
Catherine has been such a pleasure to coach the past five years as well as Taylor. They will be missed dearly. Molly will be back for her fifth year along with a large recruiting class coming in."
