Quotes from the article:

"As a team, I'm proud of our effort this week," said Oklahoma head women's golf coach Veronqiue Drouin-Luttrell. "It's not easy to play with the lead groups but we handled the pressure pretty well. We closed out the fall season on a high note and will carry the momentum into the offseason. Our team has shown glimpses of our potential and it is exciting to continue to develop different areas with our players."

"Savannah had a great final round and has been battling for us all semester," said Drouin-Luttrell. "She's been putting in a lot of time and effort since her freshman year and it's paying off for her."
