Head Coach Selena Borek's Post Invite Quote
"Today was filled with both ups and downs throughout both rounds. We struggled with consistency in our execution and focus. I felt we were not fully committed at times and that impacted our ability to score overall."
 
"I know we have the ability to be scoring 320 or better every round, and glimpses of that ability keeps showing up in our play. Our talent and skill are there, the girls just need to tap into that potential and commit to their mental game to see the team scoring success."
 
"I am incredibly proud of our four career lows today. Hanna (Dombroski) has been chasing her career low for quite some time and been close so many times and I am proud she was able to accomplish that today."
 
"All three freshmen finished with a career low today, Kayla (Brosius) doing it twice in a row! They work very hard and will likely see more strokes shaved off as they gain more collegiate golf experience."
 
Niagara Notes
• Brosius posted back-to-back career lows with a 78 today in the first round. She finished in third place.
• Bell recorded a career low of 89 in just her second collegiate round.
