• Sophomore Jeneath Wong (Melbourne, Australia) finished 2&1 against ASU's Rosholt.  After dropping a few points through her first nine holes, she rallied with three-consecutive hole wins on holes six through eight.  The opposition was able to pull ahead again though, eventually winning the match.
• Junior KaYee Kwok (Tianjin, China) battled with her opponent, Coulter, throughout the majority of her match.  She trailed only by one through over half of her round, though the Sun Devil was able to gain some traction in the end and eventually win 6&4.
• Junior Lauren Gomez (Murrieta, Calif.) put in a valiant effort after trailing by four at the end of her 10^th hole of the day.  She snagged three-straight points on holes nine, 10 and 11 before battling it out with ASU's Rhodes through the end of the round.  Her opponent was able to maintain the advantage after the final hole, however, finishing 1UP.
