NOTES AND QUOTES

"We just wrapped up what was for our program a huge weekend — the invite to Boston College's event was big for our program as we continue to challenge our players to become better every day. We had a strong first day - over 36 holes on day one, we put ourselves in a fantastic position for the final round. We fought hard during the final round, but had a hard time making adjustments as course conditions quickly became faster and firmer. We have a lot to work on! It was a huge opening weekend for Freshman Ava Lozito- impressive throughout the first round and she will only get better as she adjusts to collegiate golf. Junior Paige Diecidue put on a gutsy and impressive performance- and is emerging as one of the top players in our region." – Head Coach Michelle Melia
