Coach's Quote
"I'm really proud of the way Carley and Dorthea played this week. We had some tough conditions with 25-30 mph winds, which is something we aren't used to competing in, but we were able to post the third-lowest round Tuesday with a 299. It was also good to pick up another win over a Top 20 program, the sixth in the last two weeks."
– ECU Head Coach Kevin Williams
