Coach Jorgensen Said It
"It was a perfect day for golf. We didn't have the closing shots coming in to finish, and disappointed would be an understatement. It was fun to watch a record-breaking 66 out of Molly on Monday, and fun to see Lauren fight back for a 73 today. This was a good learning lesson for the spring season. – Coralee Jorgensen, Augustana head golf coach
