Coach's Corner

"Gwen continued her strong play for us. Tuesday's round was very impressive on a very cold wet and windy day. She is one of the top newcomers in our conference," said Head Coach Wade Merry.
"It wasn't a very good showing for us as a team. We have to play better, because we definitely have the talent to compete for a conference championship."
