TOP QUOTE
"Hayley played great this week. Today she did not have all the putts fall, but it was a really dominant performance," head coach Jay Goble said. "As for the team, this is going to be a little hard to swallow. We had a five-shot lead with three holes to go and lost by two. At the end of the day, it's early in the season and we have some young players still learning the ropes. We need to continue to stay in our process until the last shot is hit, and when we get to that point we are going to be a tough team to beat."

WHAT'S NEXT
The Lady Bears travel to San Antonio, Texas, to play three rounds at the Alamo Invitational, which runs Oct. 26 -28. Live scoring for the tournament will be available at www.GolfStat.com. Follow @BaylorWGolf on twitter for updates throughout the season.
