THOUGHTS FROM HEAD COACH POLK BROWN: "We are very excited to play a new event and at a new venue this week at Dayton's tournament. The event looks to have a very solid field and outstanding course. The ladies are ready to go after Jacksonville State as we enter the tail end of the fall with only two events remaining. We are looking forward to the opportunity that lies ahead."
WHAT TO WATCH FOR: Freshman Makenzie Morton will make her collegiate debut in Dayton, representing the fourth different rookie to play in an event this fall for the Golden Eagles. The Sparta native will join a very young lineup, featuring three freshmen and a sophomore, in Tech's first trip to Dayton in the Polk Brown era.
