Quotable: Head Coach Ria Scott
"As you can tell from our scores, we had a rough start. Scavo made some great adjustments on the greens and with her overall energy was able to put up a good number this afternoon. Overall, we gained more knowledge about this course and are ready to make additional adjustments tomorrow."
