“We had solid ball striking again today but we did struggle some with our putting,” ASU coach Kathleen Price said. “That's what we are going to concentrate on in the offseason. We need to continue improving our short game and I really think we are on the verge of breaking out and playing some really solid golf in the spring. I'm anxious to get into the offseason and give ourselves an opportunity to improve.”
