Sep 21, 2021 | Women's Golf
Manhattan, Kansas – The Green Wave Women's Golf team finished up their second invitational of the fall season on Tuesday at the Marilynn Smith/Sunflower Invitational.
"We got off to a really poor start and found it difficult to gain any momentum from there" head women's golf coach Stew Burke said. "Yesterday put us in a solid position to compete for the team title and as we continue to put ourselves in these positions, I'm confident we'll learn to close out events. We'll use today as a learning experience, and I take pride in how the ladies played day one."
