LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - Four of the league's eight women's golf teams hit the links for their fall debuts earlier this week.
TLU hosted Dallas, Southwestern, Trinity and five additional non-conference teams for its annual Lady Bulldog Fall Classic, played at the par-71, Starcke Park Municipal Course in Seguin, Texas.
The Southwestern women finished atop the leaderboard at the TLU/Lady Bulldog Fall Classic, finishing 16 shots clear of the field. The Pirates posted rounds of 306 and 310 for a two-day total of 616 (+40) to lead wire to wire. The Pirates placed three of the top five, led by Emily Campbell's 152 after scoring a round-best 75 on the second day to finish fourth. Newcomers Linsey Garza and Madison Goldberg finished in a thee-way tie for fourth alongside UC Santa Cruz's Gillian Mendoza with a 153.
Trinity shot a second-round 328 for a 656 total as the Tigers finished just four strokes behind the third-place team at the Lady Bulldog Fall Classic. Sophomore Delaney Kelley was Trinity's top finisher and stood alone in seventh place. Kelley carded a second-round 79 for a 154 total, just four strokes behind the leaders.
Texas Lutheran finished eighth among the nine 'A' teams at its own tournament, led by senior Summer Swift who forced a two-person playoff and ultimately finished as the tournament runner-up after a scorecard playoff Tuesday at Max Starcke Park Municipal Golf Course. Swift and Karen Alvarez of the University of Texas at Dallas each finished 36 holes of golf with a total of 150.
The University of Dallas posted its first women's golf team finish in its SCAC era as the Crusaders rallied to improve by 30 shots on day two. First-year Kaylei Richardson topped the UD foursome by carding a 181 (98, 83) cutting down 15 strokes.
Dallas, Schreiner, Southwestern and Texas Lutheran all travel to Hobbs, New Mexico next week to compete in the Rockwind Links Intercollegiate, starting Saturday, September 14.
