MOREHEAD, Ky. – Morehead State women's golf wrapped up play at the WKU Spring Break Shootout Tuesday afternoon, finishing the two-day event tying for fifth, carding a 299-292-296—887.  

"We are really proud of another solid tournament. This was a very good ball striking event for us and our proximity to the hole was really impressive across the board. It was also very impressive how well our team handled the swirling winds. We held our own with another top-5 finish against a very strong field," head coach Stephanie Barker said. 

Fifth-year Bridget Connolly finished the tournament tying for 15th, fashioning rounds of 77-71-72—220. Connolly had consistent play in rounds two and three, and had strong scoring on par 3s and par 5s, averaging one under par and two under par, respectively.

Two other Eagles, MacKenzie Neal and Hailey Rietz finished in the top-25, tying for 22nd. Neal, who carded a 71-78-73—222, was tied for the best scoring average in the tournament on par 3s, going three under par. Rietz, meanwhile, starred on par 4s, where she was even par on the tournament, good for the third best score.

Olivia Hensley shot a 77-74-75—226, with her second round featuring a -2 on the back nine, good for the best segment of any Eagle golfer throughout the tournament.  

Freshman Hanna Montgomery rounded out the Eagles quintet, who fashioned rounds of 80-75-78—233.

The Eagles return to the course in two weeks at the Any Given Tuesday Invitational. The three-day tournament tees off from Caledonia Golf & Fish Club in Pawley's Island, S.C.
