GANNON FINISHES FIFTH AT
MERCYHURST WOMEN'S GOLF INVITE
ERIE, Pa. - The Gannon
women’s golf team finished fifth out of 10 teams Sunday afternoon at the
Mercyhurst Invitational hosted by Lake View Country Club.
Ashland led from start to finish, posting a two-day score of 642. The Eagles
recorded rounds of 320 and 322. Findlay (333-326-659), Kutztown (345-331-676),
the University of Toronto (344-342-686), and Gannon (330-361-691) completed
the top five.
Gannon was in second place after recording a 330 during Saturday’s first
round, but fell to fifth place with a 361 on Sunday. The difference of 31
strokes was partly due to the fact that Jess Slonaker (Sunbury, Pa./Shikellamy),
Gannon’s leading golfer, was disqualified during Sunday’s final round.
Ashland’s Annie Miles also led the individual field from start to finish,
winning the title with a two-day total of 150 (74-76).
Christa Cox (Pittsburgh, Pa./Baldwin) and Whitney Burkett (Los
Alamos, N.M./Los Alamos) were Gannon’s top finishers. Both tied for 17th
place with identical scores of 174 and identical rounds of 82 and 92.
Allyssa Ferriell (25th, 86-91-177), Amanda Eckhart (29th, 90-89-179), and
Tarin Fedrizzi (T31st, 92-89-181) completed Gannon’s six-member team.
Emily Quinn (40th, 93-96-189), Brooke Pyle (55th, 99-107-206), and Abbey
Welker (64th, 126-122-248) competed as individuals.
Gannon returns to action September 28-29 at the Northwood Invitational.
