Coach’s Outlook
Head Coach Colleen Cashman shared her enthusiasm for the event:
five years ago, we were supposed to have been on an airplane to spend our spring break in Gulf Shores.Then our college athletics world as we knew it came to an end.So, I’m excited to once again get a chance to head south to this event and fulfill the obligation that we never got to have in 2020. I beleive the team is ready to play some golf. we used our first event at Stetson as a measure as to where we are in our spring preparation. we came back knowing what we needed to work on, and we did just that.The week is looking radiant with a beautiful condo rented overlooking the Gulf and four rounds of golf should give us a lot of practice. I’m excited to see who will step up this week and be the leader in the clubhouse. I told all of them I wanted each and every one of them to want to be the #1 player on the team – Not just happy to get in the van.I hope they take that to heart and we see lots of good scores!
