October 5, 2009
MONMOUTH, Ill. — Senior
golfer Lynsey Barnard ended her Midwest Conference career the
way she started it – with an all-conference performance.
Playing at the MWC Tournament at Aldeen Golf Course in Rockford,
Ill., the Fighting Scots finished the 54-hole tournament in sixth
place after carding rounds of 409-411-407-1227. Carroll won the
meet, firing a 357 during the rain-soaked first round to lead by
more than 30 strokes. The Pioneers maintained that margin over the
final two rounds to win their first league title.
Individually for the Scots, Barnard placed eighth to earn her
second all-conference honor. She earned her first all-conference
award her sophomore year after taking her freshman year off from the
sport, Barnard opened with a 92 and followed with scores of 97 and
96 to finish with a 285.
Freshman Nicole Hurst fought off first day problems and
dropped strokes each day. After opening with a 110, Hurst checked in
with a 99 and 94 over the final two rounds for a 303, just two
strokes in front of teammate Kristin Humphrey. The junior
opened with a 96, but jumped to a 100-109 over the last two days to
finish the tournament at 305.
Playing in her final conference tournament, senior Kendra
Catterton finished the final round with a 108 – her best score
of the weekend. Catterton opened with a 111-115 and carded a 54-hole
total of 334. First-year golfer, junior Kayla Winbigler
checked in with a 398, after fighting off second-day problems. She
carded rounds of 128-145-125.
Cold, wet conditions over the weekend saw the Scots shoot their
highest 18 hole scores of the season. The Aldeen Course – the
permanent home for the Midwest Conference women’s tournament – was
held at the course for the first time this season.
