Women’s golf team earn 13th in Alabama

Monday, October 29, 2007

The tournament field at the UA-Ann Rhoads Intercollegiate lived up to its lofty reputation this weekend as the Kansas women’s golf team finished 13th out of 18 teams in Tuscaloosa, Ala., yesterday.

The tournament included 11 teams ranked 43rd or better nationally, including three teams ranked in the top ten: Arkansas, Auburn and Florida. As expected those three showed why they deserve their rankings and occupied the top three places. Coach Erin O’Neil said the gap between those nationally ranked teams and Kansas had little to do with talent level.

“The main part of it is just kind of an attitude,” O’Neil said. “It’s a confidence thing that they have already gone through and established in their programs.”

Despite falling short of the goal of a top-ten finish, O’Neil said the team demonstrated signs of progress and fought through wet conditions once again to improve team scores each day.

“It showed they have the ability to keep up with the good teams,” O’Neil said. “We can accomplish the goals that we set for ourselves, we just have to keep grinding, keep working and not settle.”

Sophomore Emily Powers led the Jayhawks and tied for 11th place after beginning yesterday’s final round tied for 30th. Sophomores Meghan Bal and Grace Thiry followed her and tied for 54th and 61st, respectively. Senior Annie Giangrosso finished tied for 80th and freshman Sydney Wilson ended the tournament in sole possession of 90th place.

Although the fall season is now over, O’Neil said players would continue to play on their own and travel to tournaments in order to continue building the foundation begun this fall.
