"I could have not been more please with how the girls performed after not having much time to practice before the first event.  I did see some great things that I am excited for as the year goes on.  The girls competed and never gave up even after they had a bad hole.  I am so proud how they battled the second round to shot better then the previous round.  As I tell the girls make the second round better then the first and we did that yesterday.  I saw some things that we need to work on but I saw a lot of good from the short time we have had to practice.  I told he girls at the end of the tournament that the first year is always the biggest adjustments and we just have to weather the storm and the following year always seems to be much easier.  With that being said the girls are in a great spot and there are big things coming their way if they will trust the process." Said head coach RJ Lester.
