From the Coach – Head Coach Natasha Vincent
"It was not the finish we were hoping for, but each player had a good round. Pear led her team with solid putting throughout the event. I like how strong we look, not just with these five, but our entire roster. This was a good opener for us. I'm excited to get us ready for our back-to-back events in March. We know what we need to sharpen up."
