Coach Luke Syverson commented on the win, "I am very proud of our effort over the three day meet. The women dealth with a number of weather challenges with lighting delays on Friday evening and wind today.

It was a great way to send off our seniors at home and prepare us for the SAA Championships in two weeks. There were a lot of lifetime and seasonal PRs that were not in the top 8 that were great efforts."

Following the win, the team will be back in action at Sewanee on Saturday for the Mountain Laurel Open.
