PRATS' POINTS
Quotes from head coach Tiffany Prats:
On Leigha Holt:
"Leigha played well this week. Her putting improved as the week went on, allowing her scores to improve. She also hit a lot of greens the last two rounds, which is key to playing well. This is her best collegiate finish so far, which is great. I hope she carries this week with her the rest of the season."
On Sarfina Seretharan:
"Sarfina finished in eighth, which is also her best collegiate finish. She is continuing to get more and more confident with each round. She continued to have success around the greens. I think by the conference tournament she will be playing extremely well."
