Second Day Struggles Drop SU to 10th Place

The Schreiner Women's Golf team had trouble with rainy conditions in the second round of the TLU Lady Bulldog Invitational and fell to 10th in the final team standings.  The hard rain hindered the players and eventually halted play for about an hour before play resumed.  The Mountaineers - in 8th place after the first day - struggled with the conditions more than most of the competing teams and lost two spots in the 14 team field.

Beginning only its second year of competition and with a roster of freshmen and sophomores, the young SU team was right in the middle of the field after day #1.  Sophomore Surraya Minhas, last year's first team All-ASC performer, was in the top 5 overall after an opening round of 79.  Liz Calderon, playing her first collegiate tournament, shot a solid 82 and was in 9th individually.  Another freshman, Kattie Spencer, started slowly on her first three holes but came back strong on her second nine with a 39 for a total of 86. 

All three did not fair as well in the second round.  Minhas could only manage a 91 while Calderon and Spencer shot 90 each. 

Minhas finished in 16th place in the 70 player field and was Schreiner's top finisher.  Calderon was 23rd while Spencer finished 32nd.  Sophomores Andrea Roach (66th) and Danielle Hinson (67th) rounded out SU's scorers.

Schreiner finished 4th out of the seven American Southwest Conference schools competing in the tournament.  Host Texas Lutheran, the defending ASC champions, finished six shots behind SU.  Minhas finished 5th among the ASC individuals competing.
