COACHES CORNER

Worcester State's assistant golf coach, Zach Camarra, commented on the event, "For our first event ever, the girls did a great job.  The NEIGA is such a big tournament and can be a bit overwhelming even for the most experienced of teams and players.  They didn't quit and had such positive attitudes, it was a great start for our program."
