Head coach
Eric Lamm is excited about the trajectory of his team after preforming well the past couple of days especially on a tough course.
"Very proud of our Lions at their first tournament of the season. We played a golf course with greens that would rival the greens at Augusta National in their slope and speed ratings. All four of our women golfers gave their very best on this challenging course! I am confident we will see improvement as our active October season rolls on."
