WHAT THEY ARE SAYING
 
Wingate Director of Student-Athlete Development and women's golf coach Erin Thorne: "Mind's irons were much better today. She stayed patient throughout the round even with some missed shorter birdie chances early in the round. This is the strongest finish I've seen out of her to close a round with three birdies to post red numbers."
