UIW Fall Invitational History
SFA made history in its last trip to the Alamo City as the Ladyjacks captured the first team title in program history, winning the 2014 event by 26 strokes over host Incarnate Word. SFA shot a 55-over 907, the lowest 54-hole tournament score in program history, as six Ladyjack golfers finished in the top-10. Reed led the way, finishing second overall, with White placing third and Lautensack tying for fourth overall.
Last Time Out
Stephen F. Austin tied for seventh at the 2015 SHSU Bearkat Women’s Invitational last week in Huntsville, shooting a 66-over 918. The Ladyjacks struggled on day one, posting a 307 and a 309 in the opening two rounds before recovering with a 302 over the final 18 holes to slide into a tie for seventh. Jessie White once again led the Ladyjacks, tying for eighth overall with an 8-over 221, recording the sixth top-10 showing of her SFA career.
Looking Ahead
After competing in tournaments in three-straight weeks, SFA will have a little time off before returning to action. The Ladyjacks close out the fall portion of their 2015-16 schedule in Little Rock, Arkansas, competing in the 2015 UALR Women’s Invitational November 2-4.
