"They executed perfectly," said OCU Head Coach Andrew Leahey. "I gave them instructions on how to come through that first mile and after that, start hunting down those in front of us. The girls did that perfectly and the results show."
 
 
The Stars return to action Friday in Texas A&M's Arturo Barrios Invitational.
