NCAA EAST REGIONAL QUOTES
SECOND ROUND
North Carolina's Meaghan Francella: 69-69=138 (-4), 1st
"I missed a few short ones coming in, which was kind of frustrating. I played pretty solid. I just wish I could have kept it four under. I just try to play one shot a time. That's what I did at ACCs and that's what I've done these last two rounds. They (coaches) tell me not to worry about the score and I try to do what they tell me to do. I'm having fun. I've had a great group these past two days. I love playing with Kristy McPherson. I love playing with Tulane because their girls are so nice. I had a fun group at ACCs too, so that helps. I had a blast and that's what I've been trying to do better lately - enjoy golf."
Duke's Virada Nirapathpongporn: 73-68=141 (-1), t4th
"I am pleased with how our team did today and I am pleased with how I did as well. We have really worked hard, so it is nice to see the results."
Duke Coach Dan Brooks: 288-286=574 (+6), 1st
"I feel good about the effort made by my team. We had some things happen today that were better than yesterday. Christina (Engstrom) had a better mental game today. She fought better today. She got some of those negative thoughts out of there today. Virada (Nirapathpongporn) obviously shot a 68 and those are the type of numbers that she is very capable of shooting, so she is playing more to her normal level of play."
"We had a lot of birdies out on the backside. We were five over at the turn and finished two over. This team seems to have a tendency to play better on the back side, so I was very excited about that."
