APSU's Tala Mumford

That was announced Wednesday by the OVC office. It was the first such award for Mumford, who enjoyed her finest Lady Govs performance. Her first-round 70 was just one shot off the program single-round record set held by a trio of Lady Govs, including her fellow Metropolis native Chelsea Harris.

Mumford’s 144 also tied for second-best 36-hole score in program history. She lost on the tourney’s second playoff hole for medalist honors.

Still Mumford led the Lady Govs to a pair of school-record performances. The first-round 295 shattered the program record for 18 holes by five shots. The Lady Govs’ two-round 595 smashed the 36-hole record by eight shots.

The Lady Govs’ third-place finish will allow the program to take confidence into the off season. They will open the spring season, March 10th-11th, in the UNF Intercollegiate in Jacksonville, FL.
