Alabama State women's golf shoots lowest team score of the season

ASU HORNETS ROSTER

Mobile, Alabama | Alabama State posted its lowest team score of the 2018 season Monday during the final round of the USA Intercollegiate, carding a 296 on the links of Robert Trent Jones Golf Course in Mobile. The score propelled the Lady Hornets two spots up the leader board to close out the second tournament of the fall season.

Alabama State's round bested UAB, UT Arlington, ULM, McNeese State, Arkansas State and Arkansas Little Rock.

A trio of Alabama State golfers tallied a score of two-over par or better, highlighted by Jade Sanders' (T63) even-par round. Sanders recovered nicely from a double-bogey on hole No. 3 en route to a 36 on both the front and back nine and notched four birdies in the process. Abigail Pederson (T75) turned in three birdies and the freshman posted her best round of the event with a two-over par, 74. Kei Harris continued her solid start to the year, matching Pederson's round on the way to a top-50 finish (T44). Mack Bailey's 76 catapulted her three spots up the standings to a 74th place finish and teammate Shania Jones rounded out the scoring for the Lady Hornets with an 84.

California Baptist (-4) took home the tournament crown, while Mary Joiner of Western Kentucky shot eight-under par to finish with the top individual score.

Alabama State returns to action with the Chris Banister Golf Classic September 22 in Silver Lakes, Ala.
