Jonsson, a junior, won five different events this season, including tournaments which included teams in the Central Regional. Senior Paige Lausier and sophomore Marisa Kamelgarn will also play key roles in Morehead State’s chances to advance to the NCAA Finals. Both players earned First Team All-Conference honors and both finished in the OVC top five to earn All-Tournament nods as well.

Both senior Lynn Grunkemeyer and freshman Sofia Pettersson have the capability of providing significant scoring options for coach Stephanie Barker’s team to advance as well. Pettersson has a stroke average of 78.1 and Grunkemeyer a 79.0. Both players equaled Kamelgarn with a low round of 71.
