"Laura is putting very steady and is reading the greens extremely well," head coach Holly Tothe said. "She seems to enjoy playing in the conference championships. Her fairway game also has been solid, which is giving her a chance to win the individual medal tomorrow. She has worked hard the past week on her mental game, which has prepared her for these types of situations and is just playing with a lot of confidence right now. It's going to be a fun day for her."
