Coach's Comments: Chris Adams
"We really came out today with a great mindset and played pretty solid. I'm proud of the way everyone competed and super happy for Lauren's hole-in-one and her under par finish. Ella eagled on her second hole, so we had some momentum early and steadied the ship after a few doubles. We have another day to come out and move up the leaderboard."
