"We had a solid start to the tournament," stated head coach Renee Slone. "We made a number of mental errors that were very costly and did not take advantage of the par-fives this week. Jan had a terrific tournament and a great round today to jump up the leaderboard. She made an honest assessment of her fall season and realized the importance of investing significant time into a couple of areas."
