Coach's Thoughts
"The learning process continues," Bruin head coach MaryJo McCloskey, "We made some great moves today, and it was exciting to see real breakthroughs on the course both days. A huge highlight was Ashlyn Johnson firing a 2-under par round and tying for second place in just her second college event! The team is growing, gaining confidence, and we will continue to put in the work as we build toward what's ahead."
