BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The UAB women's golf team looks to continue its hot start this week when it travels to Gadsden, Ala., to compete in the Chris Banister Golf Classic. The tournament is set to run Sept. 24-26 at the Robert Trent Jones Silver Lakes Course.
"We are so excited to play at Silver Lakes, a course we are very familiar with, and build on what we started in Mobile," head coach Kim Wilcox said.
UAB finished in a tie for third in its opening tournament of the year at the USA Intercollegiate last weekend. The Blazers set the school record for lowest 18-hole score (288), 36-hole score (580) and 54-hole score (877).
Maria Donado headlines the UAB lineup after firing a three-under 213 in Mobile last weekend. Donado's round of 69, 70 and 74 tied the program record for lowest tournament total.
Juliana Sebastian enters this weekend's contest after a successful top-20 finish at the USA Intercollegiate. She ranks second on the team in stroke average with a 74.3.
Senior Sydney Snodgrass, who will play as the number one for the Blazers, ranks third on the team in stroke average just .4 strokes behind Sebastian at 74.7. Snodgrass fired a one-under 71 in the opening round of last weekend's event.
Kenna Hughes will once again man the fourth spot in the order. Hughes recorded a solid tournament in Mobile finishing the event with a 71 in the final round.
Imy Huxley holds the fifth and final spot in the lineup. Huxley made the biggest jump up the leaderboard at the USA Intercollegiate answering her 81 in the first round with a one-over 73 in the second.
UAB joins Jacksonville State, Murray State, Alcorn State, Morehead State, Tennessee State, Tennessee Tech, Alabama State and Limestone in this event. The Blazers begin play on Sunday at 8:15 and are paired with Morehead State and Alcorn State.
The Chris Banister Golf Classic is played each year in honor of the former Jacksonville State coach. Banister passed away at the age of 55 due to an extended illness. Along with this event, Jacksonville State has set up an endowed scholarship fund for young golfers in the Anniston/Gadsden/Jacksonville community.
