Ladyjacks to take on South Alabama in opening round of four-team challenge, close out regular season
NACOGDOCHES, Texas – With the 2018 Southland Conference Women's Golf Championship a mere eight days away, the Stephen F. Austin women's golf team will have one final tune-up Monday, April 9 at the Lamar Cardinal Match Play Challenge. The Ladyjacks will wrap up the regular season of 2017-18 at the Beaumont Country Club in Beaumont, Texas, taking on the four-team match play event after a near two-week break from competition.
SFA is set to face the Jaguars of South Alabama in the morning's first round as host Lamar will take on Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. The two winners of the morning's round will play an additional 18 holes in the afternoon for the championship match, while the losing teams of the first round will tee off for a consolation matchup.
The one-day, 36-hole event will be played on a par-71, 5,942-yard course with the four teams teeing off from hole No. 1 at approximately 7:45 a.m. Monday morning.
The Ladyjacks' lineup will consist of senior redshirt junior Erica Lautensack (Arlington, Texas) at the top spot, followed by sophomore Alexandra Batista (Trophy Club, Texas), redshirt junior Jamee Jorgensen (Boerne, Texas), sophomore Paola Cortes (Allen, Texas) and freshman Alexis Szewczyk (McKinney, Texas). Each teams' five golfers will tee off in reverse order starting with their No. 5. Szewczyk will tee off first for SFA, followed by Cortes, Jorgensen, Batista and then Lautensack.
Spanning back to the fall, the Ladyjacks have competed in a total of nine tournaments this season and have posted five top-10 and two top-five finishes. Most recently, SFA placed eighth at the Little Rock/A-State Invitational two weeks ago in Maumelle, Arkansas, after turning in a fifth-place finish at its own ORU/SFA Spring Break Invitational in Trophy Club, Texas. The Ladyjacks' best showing in 2017-18 came at the Sam Houston State Bearkat Invitational during the first week of October where the SFA placed third among 11 teams with a season-low 58-over 910. At the nation's largest collegiate golf tournament, the Edwin Watts/Kiawah Island Spring Classic in Kiawah Island, South Carolina (Feb. 25-27), the Ladyjacks had their best performance. SFA tied for 28th among 43 total teams and shot a three-round score of 61-over 925, including recording a season-low tying 10-over 298 in the second round.
Lautensack leads the Ladyjacks this season with a 77.22 scoring average through 27 rounds, while Batista has averaged a 77.44 per round. The two have combined for seven of SFA's 11 total top-20 individual finishes in 2017-18, including three top-10 placements by Lautensack and one top-10 showing by Batista.
Up Next…
The Ladyjacks will have one week to prepare for the 2018 Southland Championship hosted at the Woodforest Golf Club in Montgomery, Texas, Monday-Wednesday, April 16-18.
