Cal State East Bay head golf coach Alan Sue reflected on the team's performance: "The ladies had a decent showing in our first event of the spring. With this only being our third week together as a team, we have some physical and mental mistakes to clean up as we move forward. This is a close-knit group that has a lot of talent. Our challenge will be to work harder and smarter as we prepare to host the [Tim Tierney Pioneer Shootout] in less than three weeks."
