"It was a solid day today," head coach Jay Goble said. "I don't believe we really did anything different, we just stayed patient and gave every shot our best out there. Dylan played very solid, and she was really in control out there today. I am very proud of her come back today. Lauren continues to stay patient out there and played a solid round today. She had a hole out from the fairway today, which is always fun. Our third freshman, Giovana, played solid as well. She had six birdies in today's round and is getting her game in shape for the postseason."
