Women's Coach Jim McGrew said, "We have spent nine of the last 12 days on the road.
We did this on purpose to try and give us a good understanding of what we have to do to prepare for the postseason.
"We have had great weather and played great competition and have really shown ourselves what we need to do to get better.
"We did not play as well as we needed to. We lost to the #3 and #4 teams in the country so that definitely gives us an idea of what we have to do to be able to play with then in May at the National Championship.
"We did some really good things, but we have to find a way to make better decisions and execute better to eliminate the high numbers. If we can do that, we can play with anyone.
The #6-ranked men's team will travel to Okatie, S.C. for the Sand Shark Classic at Oldfield Golf Club on March 4-5, while the #6-ranked women's team will make the short trip to Sevierville, Tenn. for the Bobby Nichols Invitational on March 15-1.
