“We are leaving this week with mixed emotions, including a lot of fire for the rest of the postseason,” said UVA first-year coach Ria Scott. “We are very proud of how our team competed. Beth Lillie with her 67 today and our team finishing three-under over our last nine holes. We have a few things to clean up before NCAA Regionals, but we know this squad is ready and willing to do that work and face the challenge. We are excited for what’s ahead.”
