From Shauna Estes-Taylor
It was just another great team effort today. I feel like we have a great game-plan for this golf course and obviously we are in a position to go out and accomplish our goal tomorrow. We have to go out and focus on hitting good shots and really getting into our game plan. We have to be mentally focused and prepared for being in contention.

I can’t say enough about Alana’s (Uriell) round of golf today. To shoot two-under par shows her fight. Summar (Roachell) has been really solid for us. Gaby (Lopez) birdied four of her last six holes to shoot two-under. It just shows the quality of play she has right now. On a day that she didn’t have her best round, to finish strong and help our team out is really awesome. Regina (Plasencia) was solid today from top-to-bottom. Sam (Marks) struggled a bit but has plenty of game and can move up tomorrow.
