Coach Geandra Almeida's Thoughts:

"This was a week where we saw some great individual performances. I'm super proud of Yui for her win this week, it's so nice to see her hard work paying off. We also saw Pearl stepping up for us and contributing with a two under par round. Not to mention, she had three holed out eagles this week. 

Overall, we felt like our poor start in the first round placed us in a bad spot going into to the last round. I'm still super proud of the way we battled today, but we need to start getting off to some stronger starts in the first round. We also need to continue striving to eliminate simple errors that have been holding us back here lately. 

I'm looking forward to having a little bit of time before we hit the road again to keep sharpening our game as we move closer to post season!"
