Head Coach Mic Potter

“Today was a great way to end the fall season. We finally were able to establish some momentum and keep it going which had been eluding us in all 3 of our prior tournaments. Taylor Kehoe shot 8-under and made it look easy. She is very capable of competing for championships at the highest level, and today should prove that to her. The other important factor today was that Sarah, Kaitlyn, Elina and Kynadie were all in the ballgame all day. If we can have that in every tournament round it takes the pressure off from everybody.
