ACWORTH, Ga. (October 22, 2024) – On Monday-Tuesday, the No. 17 women's golf team traveled to compete in their final tournament of the season at the Appalachian Athletic Conference Fall Championships, where the Lady Bears ended on a high note with a runner-up finish out of nine teams with a team score of 927 through three rounds. TMU was featured besting No. 10 Milligan University who finished in third with a score of 933 and RV University of Pikeville who finished in fourth with a score of 944, while No. 11 SCAD Atlanta was crowned tournament champion (922).
"There are four extremely talented women's teams in the conference and currently three of them in inside the top 20 and the other receiving votes," said Head Coach Steve Patton. "I suspect there will be many more great tournaments against each other and it is highly possible for all four teams to make it to the national championship."
Most notable, Audrey Grace Holder and Sylken November led the way for the Lady Bears tied in fourth out of 59 golfers. Holder was seen shooting a 76 through round one, a 73 in round two, and 78 in round three. November was seen shooting a 79 in round one, a sharp 72 in round two and finished up the outing with a 76 in round three. Both Holder and November were featured in the all-tournament team.
"The girls impressed me today from top to bottom in the lineup. Not only did the top five girls perform well, but our individuals playing in the tournament finished seventh, 12th and 20th. All eight of our girls finished inside the top 20, representing our university well."
Brianna Bassett followed up in seventh overall after shooting a trifecta of 77s through all three rounds, while Emilia Karlsson finished in 12th after shooting an 82, 78, and 76. Gracie Doke finished up in 15th with a score of 239 through three rounds, followed by Nicoline Eide and Jala Stamey who individually finished tied in 16th with a score of 240 through three rounds.
