Coach Geandra Almeida’s Thoughts:
“Super proud of the team for how we finished our last tournament of the regular season! A top-four finish in such a strong field is an accomplishment to be proud of. We put together three solid rounds, and it was a true team effort with contributions from everyone.
Hannah led the way with a strong final round, earning a top-nine finish. Coming off an injury, it’s great to see her back and ready for the postseason. Lehane continued her consistent play, delivering three solid rounds and finishing just outside the top 10 in 11th place.
This was a fantastic event where we secured some key head-to-head wins against some of the best teams in the country! We’re excited to continue our preparation for the conference championship and hope to be ready to compete at our best!”
