Thursday’s meet brought the team to a 2-0 record in the Big Nine Conference.

According to coach Shawn Riebe, the team is showing improvement but still has some work to do.

“The girls are still feeling frustrated and know they have room to improve,” he said. “The girls are motivated.”

Next, Albert Lea will face Mankato East at 2:30 p.m. Monday at Northlinks Golf Course.
