| The Player's Thoughts... |
| "I'm very proud of the team and what we achieved today. We all came together and worked hard to get that first place finish. We deserved it. "My first two rounds were consistent, but today wasn't as consistent for me. But I gave it all I had today and got the results I was looking for." - Shena Yang |
| The Coach's Thoughts... |
| "I am extremely proud of the team. A win is something that we wanted to accomplish, especially after we've gotten close several times before this year. Our depth, with all of our rounds below 80 and having two top-5 finishers, has also been one of our goals this season. "It was a lot of fun today. Hopefully it's the beginning of our quest for the conference championship." - Marci Kornegay |
