THOUGHTS FROM COACH ALMEIDA
• “The team played better today and we are so glad we qualified for the NCCAA Nationals. I’m very proud of the way Brooke played today, she was very disappointed with her performance yesterday but came back strong today to shoot the best score of the entire field. We certainly didn’t feel like a big win because we had higher expectations as far as the team score, but I know the girls played the best they could under pretty tough conditions.”
