We have a pretty good field assembled for this tournament and it will give us a good indication of where we stand this early in the year. The girls have been working hard so far this semester and I'm anxious to see how that translates to the golf course in competition.

Leigh and Victoria have tremendous credentials and should have great college careers. They are both very talented and with the loss of two seniors from this year's squad, they will have the opportunity to compete for a spot in the lineup right away.
