In Biehl Lukkarinen’s Words
“Becky has been in the top 10 in our conference for two years, and I look
for her to be a contender for the Summit League title in 2008. Her course
management skills, tee length and strong mental game make her a driving
force behind the team’s success.”
“Maggie scored her lowest career rounds this summer. I look for her to
continue this trend during the 2007-08 season. Her distance off the tee and
positive attitude has led to her lower scores and team contributions.”
