How did the Minutemen recover in Sundays Giant Slalom?

Coach Fox’s thoughts on the Minutewomen’s route to the USCSA Nationals: The women however had a fine showing in Saturday’s slalom having junior Captain Emily Shilletto (Toronto, Ont.) place ninth and sophomore Amy Gifford (Readfield, Maine) placing 14th and junior Heidi Skinner (South Londonderry, Vt.) placing 15th for a team finish of fifth.
