"We slipped a little today, but this was a good weekend for us overall," head coach Sue Bower said. "Several of the teams participating this weekend are ranked in the Top 25, and a lot of them are going to be in the NCAA Regionals. The course was also very good, and we played well throughout the tournament. We learned a lot about ourselves as a team, and we will play better down the stretch as a result of this weekend."
