TOP QUOTE
“This was a tough way to end our tournament, but we have lots of positives that we are going to build on,” head coach Jay Goble said. “Having the low round on Sunday was a good confidence booster for us. Knowing that we can hang with any team in the country on a tough golf course is something this group needed to see. I am especially proud of Elodie. She played in the Mexican Am last month, and I know that experience helped her not only get ready for this event, but also will get her ready to finish strong in her last semester of college golf.”


WHAT'S NEXT

Baylor next competes at the Darius Rucker Intercollegiate, which runs March 6-8 at Long Cove Club in Hilton Head Island, S.C. Follow @BaylorWGolf on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook for updates throughout the season.
