"We hung in there and competed well all day long," CSUMB head coach Jim Ragan said. "I was proud of the team for bouncing back from our last tournament and having a chance to win. Individually Mia played great with a top five finish, Audrey with a top-10 and Khivi finishing in the top-20. We look forward to playing in the Las Vegas tournament, beginning Friday."
