Coach’s Comments
“We had a good fall season this year. We always use the fall as an opportunity to see what needs to be worked on for the Championship season in the spring. We love ending our fall season here at Landfall Country Club and UNC Wilmington always does a great job hosting such a fun event.
A big thank you goes out to all involved in putting this tournament together and all the fans that come out and support these young ladies. We had a tremendous turnout of Wake Forest fans this year and love our Wake Forest community. We have an extremely talented team and are looking forward to taking the next few months to train for what’s ahead.” – head coach Kim Lewellen
