“Jessica played well all fall,” APSU coach Sara Robson said. “She hit the ball really well both rounds this week—she hit one bad shot and it cost her a couple spots. She had some putts that just wouldn’t fall also.

“She is going to win one of these (tournaments). It is just a matter of time.”

Freshman AnnaMichelle Moore closed out her fall freshman campaign with an impressive 74—APSU’s low round of the day—to finish tied for 24th.

APSU's AnnaMichelle Moore“AnnaMichelle has been close all fall,” Robson said. “She just went out there today very determined and played just good, solid, smart golf. She played with great confidence and just came out aggressive.”

“Meghan doubled the first hole but really settled down,” Robson said. “She got it to two-under with six holes to go.

“Amber has to play aggressively and that is what she did today. She just had a real solid round.

“Kauffman missed some ups and down but the key thing for her today she hit it well and stayed out of trouble.”
