"The girls have a little fire in their belly from the last tournament," A&M Coach Trelle McCombs said. "We have played several matches these last few weeks to prepare ourselves and are ready to compete. We have also worked hard on our short games. My philosophy has always been to 'kill' em with your wedges', so we'll be ready."
