“Our ladies team verified my decision last year to start over,” ASU's Head Coach Dr. Gary Grandison said. “We are extremely young and we have room to develop. I have enjoyed our ladies' attitudes and efforts. This Championship involved a collective effort from our coaching staff, our athletic staff and the community.”
 
Kraakman was awarded Most Valuable Player, Freshman Low Medalist, and Top Medalist for the tournament.
 
“Janelle played so much better than her score reflected,” said Grandison. "She four-putted the 17^th hole today for a double bogey and tripled the 18^th hole yesterday. She is raw but talented.”
