November 4, 2009 |

Gulf Shores, Ala. – Austin Peay State University women’s golf team was unable to end the fall portion of its schedule on an upswing, firing a second-round 322 to finish 11th in the 12-team UAB Fall Beach Blast, Tuesday, at the par-70, 5,880-yard Peninsula Golf & Racquet Club.

Senior Angelina Manzitto fired a second-round 79 to lead the Lady Govs second-day effort. She finished 51st with a two-day 162. Junior Chelsea Harris led the Lady Govs with a two-round 156, following her opening-round 75 with a second-round 81, and finished 31st.

Senior Staci Lynch finished 42nd with a 159 (76-83), freshman Catherine Smith was 52nd with a 163 (82-81) and junior Ashley Wathen was 54th with a 164 (83-81).

“Today’s round is not how we had envisioned finishing the fall season,” said Lady Govs head coach Sara Robson. “I was proud of the way Angelina came back for us today. As a team, we did not putt well and that hurt us. We need to work hard in the offseason and be ready for the spring. I’m proud of the entire team’s effort so far this season.”

Austin Peay finished the tournament with a 638 (316-322). Memphis won the team title with a two-day 595 total.

The Lady Govs will take the next three months off before beginning the spring portion of their schedule, March 1-2, at the Murray State Spring Invitational.
