Coach Ludvigson Says...
"We feel real good about our five girls that are competing for us. Anyone in this lineup can shoot a low score. We are also excited because the field is extremely competitive. We would really like to finish better than Florida, Tulane and Michigan State. Also, we would like to put together three solid rounds this tournament because that is something we have yet to do."
