Head Coach Laura Ianello
“I was very proud of the ladies effort this week. We sadly came up a few short and didn’t have our best day today. Farah O’Keefe finishing second and Lauren Kim and Cindy Hsu finishing sixth were great performances. There are many things to work on this offseason, but overall a very successful first fall under the Ianello and Ash coaching regime. I think finishing fourth, two wins and two thirds in five tournament is very respectable. This team is hungry and we have a lot to work on in the offseason to hopefully get some more victories.”
