Emily Felix was tied for 21st at seven over par with a 223. Lily Bloodworth participated as an individual and came in 48th with a score of 231. Emily Ritchie came in 67th with a 236.
Head Coach Geandra Almeida was very pleased with the result. ""This event was what we needed to build everyone's confidence this week. After struggling at our home tournament two weeks ago, we knew we needed to make some adjustments, and one of the things we wanted to focus on was how we started our competitive rounds. I am very pleased with the way we started each round this week and how we played overall. Yesterday, we started the tournament with a solid score. For the first time this season, we had five very good scores. We had our best round of the season in round two with a one over par 289. We didn't have the best this week from our number one player, Yui, but she kept battling all week and still gave us a top 20 finish. Our freshman Hannah Nall showed up big time for us this week and finished fourth individually in a very strong field with scores of 72, 71, 73. Our two fifth-year seniors, Carson McKie and Emily Felix, had a solid tournament as well. We have been struggling so far this year to post four or five good scores at one time, so we will continue to build from this momentum as we head into our final tournament of the season in two weeks in Bradenton, Florida."
The Lady Flames will wrap of the fall season in two weeks on October 31 and November 1 at the Legends Invitational hosted by Rollins College in Bradenton, Fla.
