HEAD COACH MIC POTTER

“We improved some after a poor opening round, but too little too late to compete with the upper echelon programs in college golf. We have the firepower to do it but are making too many mistakes that are offsetting the positive things that we do. We need to practice and play with more focus and commitment if we are to compete in fields like we faced this week. Sarah had a nice tournament and Elina was solid as well. We need all five girls competing at that level.”
