HERD NOTES
INTERIM HEAD COACH SHANNON O'BRIEN
"I am proud of the girls and their resiliency, composure and the way they grew through the event. Even as the winds gusted up to 23 miles per hour, the girls only gained one stroke as a team since round one. To the girls' credit, they really bucked down today after the learning curve we had on Monday with the wind."
