Cal State East Bay head coach
Alan Sue spoke about the Pioneers' performance:
"We had a solid team effort this week despite not everyone having their 'A' game. We did bring our mental 'A' game which carried us. This team has great depth. Jasmin [Krishna] had an impressive performance leading the way for the squad this week. We now turn our focus to the double tournaments in Hawaii."
Cal State East Bay men's and women's assistant golf coach

"It was a good bounce back from our last tournament in Texas. I'm proud of how the girls handled it out there, knowing we left a few shots out there."
