"It was an absolutely amazing day for golf on the course," said Head Coach
Andrew Fee. "We are so thankful for the opportunity to be competing this spring. It was a good team win for us. We actually did not really play particularly well overall, so we exposed some things that we need to work on for the future. The match play format added some extra pressure to each hole and it was good to see our ladies persevere."
