Austin, Texas — After a three round 867 (+3) over two days of play at the University of Texas Golf Club in Austin, Texas the Lady Raiders collect their third top-20 finish of the fall slate.
The Lady Raiders entered the final day of competition in a tie for second after carding an even par on the first day of play of the event. In the third round, Tech posted a third round 291 (+3) to finish seven strokes back of tournament champion Kent State.
“The team played great,” said head coach JoJo Robertson. “We got off to a slow start, but I am proud of the way they finished. Everyone contributed this week which is great to see. I can’t say enough about Gabby. She lived up to her ranking.”
On the individual side, sophomore Gabby Barker (Shoshone-Paiute), the tournament’s No. 1 seed, picked up her second consecutive tournament championship, finishing one stroke ahead of Kent State’s Taylor Kim. Barker’s overall score of 211 is the third lowest score at the event since 2010, and marks the first time a Lady Raider has won the event.
The nationally ranked Lady Raiders will conclude the fall schedule on October 25-27 when the team will travel to San Antonio to compete in the Alamo Invitational hosted by UTSA. Also joining the Lady Raiders in the field of that event will be Big 12 foes Baylor, Oklahoma and TCU.
