From Shauna Taylor
We are a little disappointed that we fell short of our goal of winning the golf tournament, but it has been such a great fall. We were able to get so many people on the team experience in a college tournament. We had a different lineup every week and I felt like we got a lot of good growth out of the team this fall. Dylan (Kim) had a fantastic fall. She and Kaylee (Benton) had a chance to win today and it’s always great when we have players in the hunt. When we have players in contention, it gives us a chance to win as a team as well. I’m also really proud of Brooke (Matthews). She did a fantastic job in the three tournaments she played in and she shot 72 today which was very solid. We have some things to build on and we are excited to get back to Fayetteville and back to training to accomplish our goals in 2019.
