Women's Golf Improves to Eighth at Notre Dame Invitational

Sept. 24, 2006

Notre Dame, Ind. - On another day of less-than-perfect weather, the Xavier women's golf team improved their overall position to finish eighth on the final day of the Lady Irish Invitational.   Once again junior Diana Torry led the Musketeers with a final round team-low 77 (+5), finishing tied for 16th overall at the par 72, 5,965 yard Warren Golf Course on the University of Notre Dame campus.

The University of Cincinnati finished strong with a tournament-best final round of 303 (+15) to earn the team title.  UC's Hillery Wilson won the individual title with a two-over par 218 including a three-under par 69 in the second round.

Torry's first-round 76 (+4) was the lowest of the tournament for Xavier.  Senior Kara Manis shot an 81 (+9) in her final round to finish tied for 31st at 240 (+24).  Finishing four strokes behind Manis at 244 (+28) were sophomore Lindsay Cornell and freshman Tracey Clarke who both tied at 44th place.  Both matched their first round scores from the day before, Cornell carding an 80 (+8) and Clarke an 82 (+10).  Mary Beth McKenna rounded off play for the Musketeers with a final-round 82 to finish at 245 (+29), earning her 48th place for the tournament.

The Musketeers hit the road again next weekend for the Great Smokies Collegiate Championship in Waynesville, N.C.
