Quotes from Head Coach Lindsay Kuhle:
"Fantastic round today for Anna. She was very confident and consistent after a rough storming to over on the front nine."
 
"She really turned it on on the eighth hole and then the back nine and shooting 2-under total should put her in a good position to make the cut tomorrow which is a huge accomplishment in the top 20."
 
"She's really shown that she's one of the best players in college golf at this high level and can compete with the very best and I'm very proud of the determination she's had a confidence that she's played with a week."

"She's been very consistent from tee to green and when she gets that putter going like we've seen when she shot 61, she can make anything and she did that the last two of the three holes coming in."
