Overview
The Chattanooga Mocs women's golf team headed "south" to Austin, Texas for the Betsy Rawls Invitational. After a scorching 90 degrees for the practice round, the ladies arrived at the tee Monday morning at sub-freezing temps. Tuesday brightened up a bit as did the Mocs games as the squad shot the sixth-lowest round of the day to finish 12th at University of Texas Golf Club.
Quotable
"Monday was nearly unplayable, and we certainly struggled. However, I'm extremely proud of how our group battled and kept incredible attitudes throughout the event. That bodes well for us moving forward." –
Coach Katie Woodruff on this week's play
