HERSHEY, Pa. – Less than a week after the Sea Gull men got over the hump, the Salisbury University women's golf team followed suit by capturing its first-ever tournament title, rolling through the competition at the Elizabethtown Spring Invitational on Thursday afternoon at Hershey Country Club.
The Sea Gulls carded a 79-over 363 on the par-71 course, keeping steady through the hazy early spring conditions to stand tall above the field of eight teams, only five of whom finished the full 18 holes. Second-place Juniata (424) was a distant 61 strokes back.
ROUND NOTES
- Krista Brosius tied with Lebanon Valley's Jillian Fidler atop the leaderboard of 33 individuals, shooting a 13-over 84 on the afternoon that sat five strokes better than everyone else. Fidler ultimately won a two-hole tiebreaker on the par-three 16th hole to claim the individual crown.
- Victoria Heid posted the second-best score through the rest of the field, finishing in third by herself with an 18-over 89.
- Sydney Lynott carded a 22-over 93 to tie for sixth, and Emma Wivell made it four Gulls in the top 10 by shooting a 26-over 97 to take ninth.
- Cailin McCoy posted the SU drop score with a 41-over 112, tying for 20th.
The Sea Gulls will play one more single-round tournament on Monday by sending a party to the Stevenson Invitational at Piney Branch Golf Club in Upperco, Md.
