HATTIESBURG, Miss. - Stephen F. Austin closed out the first part of its spring break road trip by tying for ninth at the Southern Miss Lady Eagle Invitational. The Ladyjacks shot a 69-over 645 for the 36-hole event, including a 38-over 326 in round two.
Beginning the day in sole possession of ninth-place, SFA wasn't able to make any ground on the field, ending the tournament tied with Western Kentucky and finishing three shots back of Alabama-Birmingham (66-over 642). SFA has now finished among the top-10 of the team standings in all seven events on the season.
Sophomore Mackenzie Steiner posted the best round of the day for the Ladyjacks, shooting a 7-over 79 to finish the event tied for 28th overall with a 15-over 159 (80-79). She tied freshman teammate Piper Kyle, who reversed Steiner's scores with a 79 in round one and an 8-over 80 in round two.
Freshman Ann Holcomb tied for 42nd overall with an 18-over 162 (78-84), five shots better than both sophomore Sydney Reed (82-85) and senior Aliece Anderson's (84-83) 23-over 167. Anderson's round on Tuesday was significant as it marked the 103rd of her SFA career, moving her past Chelsea Simmons as the program's all-time leader for career rounds played.
Host Southern Miss captured the team title with a 32-over 608, defeating runner-up Memphis (35-over 611) by three strokes. South Alabama (38-over 614) placed third with Southland Conference foe Houston Baptist (41-over 617) and Murray State (45-over 621) rounding out the top-five.
