CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas - Freshman Erica Lautensack captured a share of the second individual title of her collegiate career, pacing Stephen F. Austin to a fourth-place finish at the 2015 A&M-Corpus Christi Islander Classic.
Lautensack posted a 2-over 74 over the final day of the tournament, finishing at 7-over 151 for the event and sitting among a five-way tie for first place. It marks the second time in her collegiate career she has finished atop the individual leaderboard and the third time she has placed among the top-five in just seven career events.
Sophomore Piper Kyle also recorded a top-10 finish, shooting a 3-over 75 over the final 18 holes to card an 8-over 152, tying for sixth overall. It is the second top-10 finish for Kyle after placing third at the 2014 Southland Conference Championships.
The duo helped SFA shoot a 24-over 312 over the final round, finishing the weather-shortened event with a 50-over 626. The Ladyjacks finished 10 strokes back of third-place Sam Houston State (40-over 616) and 13 shots behind both Lamar and Central Arkansas (37-over 613), tying for the team championship. Houston Baptist (55-over 631) finished fifth, giving the Southland Conference a clean sweep of the top-five.
Sophomore Jessica White shot a 10-over 82, finishing with a 17-over 161 and tying for 36th overall. Sophomore Ann Holcomb posted a 9-over 81, carding an 18-over 162 for the event, with junior Sydney Reed finishing with a 25-over 169, including a 13-over 85 in round three. Freshman Jamee Jorgensen also notched a 19-over 163 competing as an individual.
With the fourth-place finish, the Ladyjacks have now posted three top-five finishes on the season, coming in their last four events. SFA has placed in the top-10 in six of its seven events on the year as the 626 enters the record book as tying for the third-lowest 36-hole tournament in program history.
After playing two tournaments in consecutive weeks, SFA now takes a small break before returning to action at the Lady Eagle Invitational, being hosted by Southern Miss, in Hattiesburg, Miss. The opening two rounds will take place on Monday, March 9, leading up to the final round on Tuesday, March 10.
