JACKSONVILLE, Fla.  – The University of South Alabama women’s golf team posted a final-round 302 to earn a top-three finish at the Courtyard Classic at Hidden Hills Country Club Tuesday.

South Alabama (309-300-302) finished with its lowest three-round team score (911) of the season to earn a third-place finish, led by Kristen Golightly (76-75-73) who posted a 1-over par 72 in the final round for a seventh-place finish – her first top-10 finish of the year.

Ashleigh Ryals (79-74-73) turned in three-round total of 226 after also finishing with a 1-over par 73 Tuesday, and finished tied for 10th to earn her first top-10 finish of the season.

Ingrid Hagen (79-76-74) tied for 14th with a three-round score of 229 after carding a 2-over par 74 in the final round. Anna Lesher (75-75-82) earned a top-20 finish with a three-round total of 232, while Taylor Appleyard (84-81-85) finished with a score of 250 in three rounds.

“We made some strides this week. We played pretty consistently tee-to-green, and that’s what we’re looking for. We’re real close to posting a nice team score, but overall we played really consistent. The three low scores today [Golightly, Ryals and Hagen] had chances to shoot under par, and that’s [scores under par] what we’re looking for. We’re getting closer; we feel like we’ve improved each tournament. We just need to continue to do that next week at Middle Tennessee.”

Troy (305-300-293) won the team title with a three-round 898, while Florida Gulf Coast’s Georgia Price (75-70-74) earned individual medalist honors in a playoff.

South Alabama will conclude its fall schedule next week at the Blue Raider Invitational, hosted by Middle Tennessee, Oct. 22-23.
