They posted some very consistent scores and I’m excited for the remainder of the season.  I’m thrilled for Katie – this is only her 2nd collegiate event and posting two consecutive rounds of 69 was tremendous.  This should set the tone for the semester for her and I look for her to be one of our top players.”  The Lady Falcons return to competition October 12-13 at the Guy Harvey Invitational in Palm Beach Gardens, FL.
