WORDS FROM HEAD COACH TAMMY LIM
"The girls played very well today. They kept up with some good teams and are right in contention. Getting a good first round was important so we do not have to play catch up these next couple of days. We just need to maintain from here on out. There is still lots of golf but the girls are in good spirits and their games are there."
CSU Pueblo gets back at it early tomorrow morning with
Anju Ogi teeing off first at 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time. The entire tee sheet for round two can be found
