TULSA, Okla. - The UAB women's golf team finished the Conference USA Championship on Tuesday in ninth place with a 54-hole score of 1042. The Blazers shot rounds of 347, 352 and 343 over two days at the Tulsa Country Club to wrap up the spring season.
Senior Alyson Mitchell paced the Blazers during the tournament and tied for 18th place in the individual competition with a score of 246.
Tulane capture the team title after recording rounds of 317, 316 and 300 for a total of 933 (+69), which was 23 strokes better than the second place team. UCF placed second with a score of 956 and East Carolina rounded out the top three at 957.
Daniela Holmqvist of Tulane ran away with the individual title, tallying rounds of 74, 75 and 76 to finish nine-over par at 225. Tulsa's Sarah Elliot finished in second place with a score of 235, 10 strokes back of Holmqvist.
Mitchell shot rounds of 84, 83 and 79 on her way to a team-best 246 for the tournament. Her 79 during the third round tied her low round of the season.
UAB sophomore Lindsay Taylor placed 34th with a score of 262, while senior Christina Wentworth finished just behind Taylor in the 35th position after shooting a 254.
"We just didn't perform as well as we are capable of the past two days," said UAB head coach Kim Wilcox. "The conditions with the weather and the course were difficult, but we should have been able to adapt better. It was good to see some improvement in our play during the final round, but overall we didn't play to our potential."
Sophomore Jaime Brabb carded a 270 over the 54 holes to tie for 41st place overall. Fellow sophomore Emi Boozer rounded out the Blazers' efforts in 46th place with a total of 278.
