"We talked earlier this week about digging deep and having more fight, fighting for yourself, your team and your school," Samford head coach Rachel Ingram said. "The girls dug deep today and scored the fourth best final round today. I am very proud of them for overcoming a challenging first round, refocusing and finding determination within. We will carry this momentum to North Florida's tournament next week."
