On today’s round, Head Coach Scott Moe said, “It wasn’t a bad day for us. It was extremely hot out and I know that we can play better. Emily had a fantastic round for us with three birdies on the back nine, she was just really solid all day. Erin played really well and battled for a 78 which I liked to see. Today our depth just didn’t show, but I have a feeling we will be better tomorrow.”
