Coach Geandra Almeida's Thoughts:
 
"It was a great battle. Really proud of the girls. They never quit or gave up. We were down seven or eight shots back and we had a chance to make it. But this is a strong region and credit to Barry they made a few birdies for a good finish. Proud of our team and especially Hannah Nall. She is leaving behind a legacy of hard work and commitment to this team."
