Coach's Comments:
"I'm very proud of how this team endured the weather the last few days and how they kept the score as they did. Shooting the kinds of scores they did, considering the winds and weather, showcases their level of talent under any circumstance. I'm thrilled that they won the regional and even more thrilled that we have a chance to go back to La Costa and play for a championship. Additionally, for Carolina to win the NCAA Regional as a senior is extra special. " - head coach Kim Lewellen
