HANOVER, NH – Kris Herman's Williams women's golf team
opened their 2008 fall season this afternoon competing in the first
day of the two-day Dartmouth Invitational at the Hanover Country
Club. Par on the Hanover CC layout is 71.
Host Dartmouth leads the 17-team field after scoring a
program-best 308.
The Ephs shot a 326 and are tied for eighth with Division I Sacred
Heart University. "We're right about in the middle of the pack,"
said Herman.
Senior Melissa Barton fired a team-best 77 on the day with a 38 on
the front nine and a 39 on the back nine. "Melissa was consistent
all day and did not have a hole with a big number," noted Herman.
Barton is tied for 7th in individual play. Barton's 77 was the best
score posted by a Division III player on the day.
Five Ephs competed and the team score is derived from the top four
scores on each team. Junior Anne O'Leary carded an 80 and classmate
Kaitlyn O'Brien checked in with an 84. Junior Kristin Nottebohm and
first year Kristen Tubbs each fired an 85 on the day.
"Overall I thought we played well, but I know we can play better
tomorrow," said Herman. "This is the first time these players have
played this course. If we can eliminate that one big number on each
scorecard we will improve our team score to where I think we should
be."
The Dartmouth Invitational will conclude tomorrow after another
round of 18 holes starting at 8:00 AM.
