Coach Geandra Almeida's Thoughts:

"There were a lot of positives to take away from this week. We played a very strong second round, highlighted by two outstanding under-par performances from Justine and Jackie. I feel like we are trending in the right direction, and I'm proud of the fight and determination this group showed throughout the tournament. Although we were a little disappointed with the way we finished, we will continue to learn from those moments, make adjustments, and keep moving forward. What excites me most about this team is how coachable they are and how eager they are to learn and get better. They are committed to the process, and I'm excited about the direction we are heading."
