Sixth-year OU head coach Veronique Drouin-Luttrell said she was happy with how her team progressed.

“We definitely played better as the weekend went on,” Drouin-Luttrell explained. “Our short games were better as a whole and we need to continue practicing hard. We have a few more weeks to go and we need to work hard on our games.”

The Sooners will return to the course Saturday, April 4, when they will compete in a match-play event against Oklahoma State at the Jimmie Austin OU Golf Club in Norman.
