THOUGHTS FROM COACH STROM
"It was a great learning experience for everyone," head coach
Lisa Strom said. "The golf course was in great shape and Miramont went above and beyond hosting our match. Hats off to the Aggies for how they played. They won three matches handily and that put us behind the eight ball. Courtney Dow was 4-under for the day against Sarah. That is great golf on a long, wet course."
MATCH QUICK HITS
- Sophomore
Geraldine Wong supplied the Bobcats with one of the two individual victories. She topped Katie Finley, 3&2, after having a successful day with her fairway woods and hybrids. She converted several key putts and was able to grind out a point.

Caitlyn Lindell took care of business in her defeat of Elizabeth Caldarelli, 1 Up. She kept herself in striking distance all day and found a way to pull out the point on the final hole of the round.
- Junior
Sasikarn Somboonsup played very well throughout the day and was even through the first 16 holes of action. Her opponent, Brooke Tyree holed a 40-foot chip-in birdie on No. 16 to take the match 3&2 over Somboonsup.
