THOUGHTS FROM THE COURSE
"What a great effort all week long by Anne-Charlotte," head coach Lisa Strom said. "A few holes today where momentum could have shifted would have made it a different story. We are so proud of all she has accomplished as a Bobcat."

"Of course we wish she was moving on to the national championship, but it was not meant to be," Strom said. "Par-5 scoring held her back all week, especially No. 15. Despite all of that, she never gave up. She matured tremendously and we look forward to following her after she graduates In August. She will be a Bobcat for life!"

"I felt good about my ball striking today," Mora said. "Unfortunately, I could not get any putts to drop. I am proud of how I played this week. I gave my best effort and it just was not enough. Coach Strom taught me that everything is an opportunity to learn and grow and that is what this week became."

"I have developed as a golfer," Mora said. "But, more importantly, I have grown as a person during my time at Texas State. Once a Bobcat, always a Bobcat!"

ROUND ONE QUICK HITS
- Mora opened her second NCAA appearance on the back nine on the tee box at No. 10. She started the first round with five-straight par conversions before striking her first bogey on No. 15.
- She recovered quickly to tap in a three-foot birdie putt on the green at No. 17 before tallying a second bogey to shoot a 37 (1-over) on the back nine.
