The Murray State women's golf team claimed their second title in three years at the Drake Creek Invitational in Ledbetter, Ky.
The Racers put together three excellent rounds of 295-290-305=890 to defeat Morehead State who carded scores of 302-295-302=899.
Four Racer players made the top-5 of the event and this earned all-tournament honors in the field of 63 players and 10 teams.
Leading the way was Morgan Cross who placed second with scores of 74-70-75=219, while Alexandra Lennartsson was third with scores of 73-70-78=221. Alli Weaver and Delaney Howson were part of a three-way tie for fourth place. Weaver had scores of 74-74-77=225 and Howson came home with 74-76-75=225. Claudia Schwan placed 36th with scores of 82-81-81=244.
“We played very well over these three rounds and found a way to win the tournament,” MSU Head Coach Velvet Milkman said. “I thought today we dealt with the pressure of carrying a lead into the final 18 very well. This is a great start for our team in winning the season opener, so now we'll go back to work and keep building on it.”
MSU's 890 topped their record winning score in the inaugural Drake Creek event of 893 in 2009.
Morehead State's Marisa Kamelgarn was the medalist of the event with scores of 71-73=71=215.
The Racers' foursome of Cross, Lennartsson, Weaver and Howson joined Kamelgarn and EKU's Linda Hoberg on the Drake Creek Invitational All-Tournament Team.
Eastern Kentucky placed third in the 54-hole event at 923 and was followed by Belmont (935), Austin Peay (937), Tennessee Tech (943) and Western Kentucky (952) in the top-7. Lipscomb (983), Northern Kentucky (994) and Tennessee State (1056) rounded out the field.
MSU's individuals included, Sophie Olley with a 22nd place finish with scores of 75-77-85=237. Gina Nuzzo placed 51st with rounds of 84-90-88=262. Madolyn Parker had scores of 96-97-93=286 and placed 62nd.
The course at Drake Creek played to a par of 72 and 6,178 yards. The course hosted the Ohio Valley Conference Women's Golf Championship in 2006 and 2007.
Murray State's next challenge is the Betty Lou Evans Intercollegiate (Sep. 30-Oct.2) hosted by the University of Kentucky at the University Club.
