Quick Quotes

Q. A remarkable run you had this week, making it to the semifinals. Just sum up what the week has been like and the experience here.

KARY HOLLENBAUGH: Oh, it's been amazing. I mean, like going to Puerto Rico, both of us have never been like out of the U.S. before, so flying here for a tournament, it was a great venue. They ran a really nice event, and they did really well for all of us girls. We probably want to come back here.

We were really proud of the way we played and hung in there. We fought really hard, but we just didn't get it done. But they played really well. Sara and Thienna, they deserved it.

ANNA RITTER: Yeah, I think for me it was a big confidence booster for us because I haven't played a lot of match play, so to win three of our four matches I think was pretty good for us, so it just felt good to keep saying to ourselves, oh, we're coming back tomorrow, oh, we're coming back. It was a lot of fun. It was a great experience, and I think it really helped our games, as well.

Q. What's next for this summer for you guys? Is the high school season still going on?

ANNA RITTER: Well, we have our national championship in June that we'll go to. For me, I'm not sure what's next. Probably the Dye Open qualifier. U.S. Women's Open qualifier and then probably the Dye Junior Memorial Day.

Q. Are you guys playing in the same Women's Open qualifier?

KARY HOLLENBAUGH: I think so, yeah, Scarlet.

Q. So next year, did I see that you're both going to Big Ten -- one Illinois and one Ohio State, so maybe you'll be facing each other?

KARY HOLLENBAUGH: Yeah.

Q. Talk a little bit about that. Are you excited to -- will you miss being on the same team?

ANNA RITTER: I think I'm just excited for when the tournament comes and I'm like, Coach, put me in Kary's group.

KARY HOLLENBAUGH: Yeah, it'll be nice to have a friendly face in college because it's just a whole different area of golf. It's completely different than junior golf. It'll be nice to have someone that I know really well.
