FINAL RESULTS
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – After entering the day 18 shots back and in sixth place, the Jacksonville State women's golf team fired a tournament course record 293 to claim a one-shot win over Murray State in the F&M Bank APSU Intercollegiate on Tuesday.
Freshman Anne Albrecht had the low individual round of the day with a 4-under 68 on the 5,960-yard Clarksville Country Club, pacing the Gamecocks to their second win in three events so far this fall. Albrecht claimed second place in the 83-player field, while JSU stole the team title from the 14-team event. The Gamecocks snuck past Ohio Valley Conference rival Murray State, whose second-round 312 allowed JSU to claim the one-shot win with a 36-hole score of 607.
The event featured nine OVC schools, four of which the Gamecocks either trailed or were tied with entering Tuesday's final round. Their 293 was 13 shots better than any other team in the field on Tuesday, capping an improbable comeback for the win. In three fall events, the Gamecocks have won two and finished second in the GolfWeek Program Challenge.
Albrecht, a native of Winsen, Germany, carried JSU in the tournament. She opened with a 3-over 75 on Monday, the team's best score in that round. She turned it on Tuesday, when she was not only the only player in the field to break par, but she tied for the fourth-lowest round in school history. She finished one stroke behind medalist Delaney Howson of Murray State, who hung on with a second-round 74 after a Monday 66.
Junior Maya Parsons was the only other Gamecock in the Top 10, tying for ninth with a 36-hole 153. The Whitby, Ontario, native answered an opening round 80 by carding a 1-over 73 on Tuesday. Her 73 was the second lowest score in the field in the final round.
Sophomore Melania Bajo Geijo also bounced back from a first-round 80, using a 74 on Tuesday to finish with a 154 and in a tie for 12th. Sophomore Melani Sisto shot 79 on Monday and 78 on Tuesday for a 36-hole 157 that put her in a tie for 22nd, while sophomore Erin Gunnels' 82 gave her a 163 and tied her for 45th.
The Gamecocks' next event is on Oct. 21-22, when they travel to Murfreesboro, Tenn., for the Blue Raider Invitational.
