Coach's Take
On winning the Glass City Invitational... 
"It's nice we were able to close it out today. Winning isn't easy and we certainly won't take this for granted. We were up and down today but every one of them played hard until the last putt and it paid off. Not to downplay this win, but one of the things I think I'm most excited about is how much I know we learned from competing on a track like Inverness. There's just nowhere to hide on a golf course like this and it tests every part of your game. I really think this experience could prove to be an important one for us down the road."
 
On Sierra Brooks' second-place finish... 
"Sierra was steady out there all week. Even though she had a rough start today she battled and she's just such a competitor you can never count her out."
 
On Addie Baggarly's 67 in round three... 
"Addie was having one of those days where as a Coach you know it's just best to just stay out of the way, she was in the zone. Really good to see her make that adjustment from day one, a real testament to how much she's maturing as a player."
