THOUGHTS FROM HEAD COACH AMANDA SMITH: "It was great getting our season started with match play a few weeks ago. We had some players really stand out and push themselves further than we have seen. I know this team took away some valuable lessons leading into this next event. This team is striving hard to get better physically and mentally. That is what Hampton Cove calls for to play great golf. I know this team will gain some wonderful experience and fight with this great event."
