Thanks to its best tournament so far this year, the UHV women鈥檚 golf team is closing the Fall season on a strong note.
The Jaguars finished third at the annual UHV Fall Classic, which wrapped up play Tuesday at Riverside Golf Course. UHV shot rounds of 317-322鈥639 to finish in a tie for third with NCAA Division III St. Thomas (TX).
鈥淚鈥檓 really proud of the way the girls played this week,鈥 said head coach Garrett Adair. 鈥淭hey鈥檝e been putting in a lot of hard work with assistant coach Taylor Dedmen and it鈥檚 paying off. I鈥檓 eager to see how we carry this momentum into the spring.鈥
Senior Emmily Bickelmann turned in a Top 5 finish after shooting rounds of 76-79鈥155 to finish T-5.
Evelyn Nguyen, Kaitlin Lopez and Remme Trujillo each shot a final round 81.
Nguyen (81-81鈥162) finished 13th while Lopez (84-81鈥165) finished T-16. Both had two birdies each. Trujillo (87-81鈥167) finished T-21 after turning in a scorecard with nothing worse than bogey.
Madeline Pate (76-84鈥160) finished 12th after a strong opening round to close out the freshman鈥檚 first semester in college golf.
鈥淚 definitely saw a lot of improvement from our first tournament,鈥 Dedmen said. 鈥淚 think our mental game has gotten a lot stronger. I think we鈥檝e gotten more consistent. We鈥檙e starting to miss in the right areas of the course and I think that鈥檚 helped a lot. If we stay level headed and do what we鈥檝e been doing, I think we鈥檒l be all set for the spring.鈥
Reese Trujillo (79-86鈥165), competing as an individual, shared 16th with Lopez. Laney Glass (94-94鈥188) finished 28th as an individual for UHV.
The Jaguars will resume their season on Feb. 24-25 with the Claud Jacobs Invitational at The Club at Colony Creek.
