Coach's Comments: Chris Adams
"I'm proud of the way Molly played today, and the others are still making some bad decisions along with some poor execution. The wind was a struggle today with 35 mph gusts, and we just didn't handle it that well. We will come out tomorrow and give it our best in hopes of moving up."
