MURRAY, Ky. – Women's golf placed second with an 887 (292-298-297) total at the 15-team Jan Weaver Invitational, played Friday and Saturday at Frances E. Miller Memorial Golf Course. Three Scarlet Knights finished among the top 10 in the 97-player field for RU, which was three strokes shy of capturing its second straight tournament victory.

"The team did what I asked in grinding-out the 18 holes and fighting hard to pull together its rounds after a slow start this morning," said head coach Kari Williams. "The course played more difficult today with more wind and faster greens, but it was a great test for us as we prepare for the toughest stretch of our schedule. We were close to achieving our goal of winning the event and fell just short by three strokes."

Sophomore Harriet Allsebrook and graduate senior Ashleigh Greenham both delivered top performances, placing tied for fourth and sixth, respectively. Allsebrook, minus three on par fives, carded a 218 (71-75-72) and Greenham, two-under on par threes, a 219 (72-72-75). It marked the third consecutive top 10 showing for Allsebrook, who accumulated 11 birdies on the par 72 course.

"Harriet and Ash played consistently for us this week and gave us the chance to comeback and compete up the leaderboard today," said Williams.

Junior Carrie-Ann Lee and freshman Maeve Rossi also had strong outings on the 6,010-yard course featuring Bermuda grass greens and fairways. Lee tied for eighth with a 224 (74-75-75) and Rossi had her third straight top 20 performance, tying for 14^th with a 226 (75-76-75). Lee registered 40 pars and Rossi counted seven birdies.

Rutgers' best round on Saturday belonged to junior Ana Cortes, who carded a 71 on the final 18. Competing individually, the co-captain elevated her game with each round and tied for 14^th with a 226 (79-76-71).

Sophomore Lori Char completed the team scorecard, placing tied for 41^st with a 234 (75-78-81).

Eastern Kentucky shot an 884 (294-293-297) to win the tournament, as host Murray State finished in the show position. Individual medalist honors belonged to EKU's Elsa Moberly, who won the event by five strokes with a five-under 211 (70-68-73).
