Quotables
Head Coach Katie Hanneman on her team's fall season and Kathryn's first career win
"I think the biggest piece for this season has been that Jana and I put things in front of them and they have bought into it. I think the culture of the team is the biggest factor in our success this fall. They support one another it does not feel like any of them are threatened by their fellow teammates. Then on today, Kathryn being two strokes under par on this golf course in these conditions is just remarkable."
