HOUND BYTES
Head coach Andy Serketich on Ray's performance...
"Ava played amazing today! Obviously any bogey-free round is impressive but to do it the final round of the National Championship stroke play is big time. She hit some great shots down the stretch and made a couple clutch putts. I'm so happy for her and it is great to add her name to our list of All-Americans. Go Hounds!"
 
On the Hounds' finish...
"Team-wise it was a wild year with some amazing accomplishments. I am super proud of the team and beyond grateful for all of their hard work and dedication. Looking ahead to next year, we have four of the five returning and Ellen will shift over to be our assistant coach, so we are super excited for August."
