From Shauna Estes-Taylor
Obviously I’m really proud of this team today. We had wind, we had rain and it was cold. It was awesome to see them learn from our short-comings yesterday and keeping in tune with our game plan on this golf course. They learned from their mistakes and that was huge for us today. They did a nice job today – all five of them in the tough conditions. I can’t say enough about Regenia’s two-under par. Just solid golf out of her. Even par out of Summar and Gaby and two other great rounds of golf by Alana and Cara was impressive. We have to go out tomorrow and continue to learn from our mistakes and attack the leaderboard.
