We didn’t play our best golf this week, but we know the team learned a lot from the fight. We showed flashes, but not enough sustained execution to compete the way we know this team is capable of. Now the focus shifts to learning from it and getting back in competition next weekend in Fresno.Head Coach Courtney Roberts
The tournament victory was claimed by Colorado, who finished at even par, holding off UC Davis and Sacramento State. Individually, San Francisco's Eva Pett took winner’s honors with an impressive 7-under par total.
The Mustangs will look to build on the momentum of their final-round performance as they prepare for the Fresno State Classic next week.
