  The UMHB women's golf team poses with its second place trophy

Anna, TX - The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor women's golf team stormed back with the lowest round of the tournament and the Cru women posted a second-place team finish at the American Southwest Conference Tournament Tuesday in Anna. The UMHB women posted a 352-327=679 total and finished nine strokes behind team champion McMurry University's 333-337=670 total. U.T.-Tyler finished third with a 338-353=691, Hardin-Simmons University took fourth place with a 358-338=696, Texas Lutheran University claimed fifth place with a 365-369=734, LeTourneau University was sixth with a 378-385=763 and U.T.-Dallas finished seventh after shooting 403-387=790. The two-day, 36-hole event was played on a par-72, 5,826-yard layout at Hurricane Creek Golf Course in Anna.

Christi Williams posted the top individual finish for the Cru women. Williams fired an 88-77=165 to tie for sixth place individually. Allison Williams carded an 86-82=168 for UMHB to finish in ninth place. Kathryne Lozano shot 91-82=173 for UMHB to tie for 14th place, Courtney Nelson posted an 87-89=177 to finish 17th and Taylour Shaw fired a 97-86=183 to tie for 23rd place for the Cru women. Both Christi and Allison Williams were named to the ASC All-Conference Second Team. Samantha Humphrey of U.T.-Tyler won the individual championship after recording a 75-83=158.

"I am very excited about the way the season ended with us shooting our best round of the year," Cru head coach Darla Kirby said. "We set a goal to go out and shoot the best round of the day today and that's what we did. All of our girls really stepped up under some pressure today and played well and that should give us some momentum going into next year."

The UMHB women's golf team has now finished in first or second place at every ASC Championship Tournament. The tournament likely wraps up the spring season for the Cru women, who will have to hope for an at-large berth in the NCAA Division III National Championships.
