Familiar Faces Part Deux

Head Coach Kory Henkes Quoted
On hosting the 2016 event…
"It's always nice to have a home event. We have families coming from all over the world to watch the girls play so there will be a little bit of a comfort factor. We're looking forward to this weekend, and we have a lot of good teams competing. We're hoping to have a really good week."
On the lineup…
"We have Abby (Newton) and Ali (Hovatter) in the lineup so we are looking for a good finish from them. We have Madisen (Bentley) who's been consistent for us all year and Laura (Hoskin) and Maria (Toennessen) who have made a strong push for us towards the end of the semester to work their way into the lineup. I feel great with who we have in the lineup, as well as the girls who are playing in individual spots. Any of them have a great chance since it's their home course."
On the course conditions…
"We had about three inches of rain last night, so we're lucky to get a practice round in but we may have to some adjustments before tomorrow. We'll get it in. The weekend is going to be nice so we'll be in good shape."
