Sep 15 | Women's Golf
EAST LANSING, Mich. – Women's golf is 13th with a 605 (306-299) total after the initial two rounds of the 35th annual Mary Fossum Invitational, played Saturday at Forest Akers West Golf Course. The Scarlet Knights tallied 108 pars and 17 birdies on day one against a strong field that features four top 30-ranked programs and seven teams that earned berths to the 2018 NCAA Tournament.
"Our scoring improved in the afternoon, but we still left some shots out there," said Head Coach Kari Williams. "Our goal for the final round is to compete for all 18 holes and to finish strong. We have a few teams within reach on the leaderboard for us to try and catch tomorrow."
Freshman Maeve Rossi paced the Scarlet Knights on Saturday, carding a four-over 148 (76-72) to enter Sunday's final round tied for 26th in the 90-player field. She is plus one on both par three and par four holes with 22 pars and six birdies.
Graduate co-captain Ashleigh Greenham (75-76) and sophomore Harriet Allsebrook (77-74) also had solid outings on day one and are tied for 39th with 151 totals. Greenham has a team-high 25 pars, while Allsebrook is even on par fours with six birdies.
Juniors Ana Cortes and Carrie-Ann Lee round-out RU scorecard on the par 72, 6,334-yard course located on the Michigan State campus. Cortes is tied for 73rd with a 158 (78-80) and Lee is tied for 76th with a 159 (82-77).
No. 23 Virginia leads the tournament with a five-under 571 (281-290), three strokes ahead of both No. 12 Florida and Georgia. The Cavaliers' Anna Redding is atop the individual leaderboard with a seven-under 137 (69-68).
The Scarlet Knights are ahead of Kansas State, Northern Illinois and Eastern Michigan and within six strokes of 10th place entering the final round.
Play resumes via a 9 a.m. shotgun start on Sunday. Live results are available via Golfstat.
