COACH SAYS:
"We really enjoy coming to the Boston area to start our season.  As a group, we are disappointed in our finish, but we saw plenty of bright spots and things on which we can build.  We are a relatively young team, and this was certainly 'on the job' training, especially for our freshmen.  There's not a good way to prepare for what the players saw here this week, with a different grass, layout, et cetera.  The best way to learn is the 'on the job' training that I mentioned.  Hopefully this will help us play better this weekend at Princeton.  We have a quick turn around for our next event, so rest, reflection and rebound for the Tars." – Rollins Head Women's Golf Coach Julie Garner.
