Head coach Nathalie da Silva was very pleased with her team's effort and performance in the SCIAC #2. "We gave our heart out there, we fought until the last putt rolled in. I am definitely proud of my squad and excited for the championship in the end of the month. We will get there ready to show our work. We appreciate all the family and friends that showed up to support us, that course isn't easy to walk and seeing all the parents and friends there to cheer us up gave us the boost we needed on the second round. They are an important piece of our golf program."

 

The SCIAC Championships will take place April 23-25 at Cal Lutheran.
