JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Led by a 12th-place finish from Paula Vega, the Jacksonville State women's golf team finished 10th in the UNF Collegiate on Tuesday.
Vega turned in a 54-hole score of 220 on the par-72, 5,926-yard Jacksonville Golf and Country Club, tying for 12th in a 90-player field. The native of Medellin, Colombia, shot rounds of 67-75-78 to lead the Gamecocks in the event.
Her opening-round 67 tied for the third-lowest round in school history and was just two shots off of the school record.
