WHAT THEY SAID:
Â
"Another struggle of a round today, but that was true for all teams," said Longwood Head Coach
Megan Weaver. "The small, firm greens leave such a small landing area. When the individual leader of the tournament is three over, that shows the difficulty of the course. We mentally did not accept that and instead let little mistakes turn into big numbers."

Longwood plays the third and final round of the Low Country Intercollegiate on Sunday morning.
