Coach Geandra Almeida's Thoughts:
 
"I don't think the conditions were all that hard. I just don't think we played all that well today. Some of our key players had a tough time out there. We need to figure out a way to come back strong tomorrow, play our best round and give it a chance. We need to trust we can still do this we just need to play a really good round of golf which we haven't so far."
