COACH'S CORNER
Head coach Brooke Burkhammer
"We played the front nine really well, but we struggled a bit on the back nine. We worked on a few things after the round, so now we should be good to go to play even better tomorrow. It was awesome to see the girls have so much fun today and they stayed positive throughout the round. This is a fun group to be around, that's for sure."
