Eph Women currently in 4th Place after Day One at Mount Holyoke Invitational - September 22, 2008
SOUTH HADLEY, Ma. – The Williams women’s golf team ended today's round one of the Mount Holyoke Invitational at the Orchards Golf Club (par 72 - 5,880 yards) in fourth place (out of 13) with a team score of 338. The continued steady play of senior Melissa Barton resulted in an 80, the best team score for the Ephs; she is currently tied for 5th place in the individual team competition. Junior Mary Gelber also battled back to end just two strokes behind Barton at an 82.
Both women were key to the team’s promising finish behind Amherst (328), who is in first place with a slim lead, followed by University of Hartford and Mount Holyoke College who are both tied for second with 329. Junior Anne O'Leary and first year Kristen Tubbs both carded an 88, while sophomore Dale Markey shot a 98 in individual competition.
For some of the Ephs, it was their first time playing at the Orchards. The beautiful and unfamiliar course made for a challenging first round that likely did have an affect on the level of play. However, Coach Herman is optimistic, believing the team to be “right in the mix” for tomorrow’s final day of play.
Ephs finish 5th Overall at Mount Holyoke Invitational
SOUTH HADLEY, Ma. – Williams women's golf began the final day of play hoping for consistency. After finishing in 4th place following yesterday’s round one, the team was in a good position to improve. Unfortunately, the reliable performance the Ephs were all striving for overall didn’t manage to completely materialize on the difficult 18 holes of the Orchards as they had to contend with a few high scores from the previous day.
Senior Melissa Barton, however, did continue her steady play and ended the day with a score of 79, one stroke less than her first day score of 80. She concluded her weekend with a total of 159 which placed her tied for third as an individual team player. Barton as well as junior Anne O’Leary and sophomore Aimee Weber helped keep the Williams women inside the top five competitors at the invitational. O’Leary fared much better on day two, hitting a 75, thirteen strokes less than her day one result. Weber added on to the positive showings of her fellow golfers by bouncing back from her score of 102 the previous round to hit a respectable 87.
The Ephs finished with a team score of 331, a seven stroke improvement from their team score of 338 from Saturday. Completing the two-day competition with a sum score of 669, Williams ended up in fifth place at the 33rd Annual Mount Holyoke College Invitational. Amherst College clinched the title with a score of 657 (328, 329). The hosts Mount Holyoke finished in a close second (663 – 329, 334) with University of Hartford just behind in third (664 – 329, 335). St. Lawrence University was also close behind with a score of 665 in the event.
Although they did not achieve the desired result, the Ephs are determined to improve upon their showing at Mount Holyoke. “It’s great but we’re better golfers than that. We’ll get there; we’re working on it,” commented Coach Herman. |
