What they’re saying

“An up-and-down day for the women. It was a long one as they walked 36 holes, but they fought the whole time. We got off to a great start and really limited our big numbers. Unfortunately, those started to catch up with us and our scores inflated. Still, we are right around some highly ranked teams, so tomorrow is very important. Work to be done tomorrow.”

— Zach Anderson, LC State Women's Golf Coach
