Quoting Sarah Sargent
"The fall season has given us a chance to assess where we are as a team and what we need to do to get better for our strong spring schedule. I am really happy for Laura and her better play this week. This was the lowest score Laura has shot for a total tournament and her best finish. We struggled as a team today and didn't quite have the finish we were looking for, but next time we are in the lead after the first round we should be able to handle it better."
