3/19/2019 4:15:00 PM | Women's Golf
WILLIAMSBURG, VA. – Sophomore Mia Kness (Venetia, Pa.) became only the second golfer in Seton Hall women's golf history to win two individual tournament titles, firing a 1-over-par, 73, to cement the victory and lead the Pirates to the team title of the 2019 William & Mary Intercollegiate on Tuesday.
Kness joins former Pirate Erin McClure as the only Pirates to win two individual tournament titles. Kness' other title came at the 2017 Brown Bear Invitational.
Kness used 13 pars to power her final round, and birdied two of the final three holes in route to a 1-over-par, 73. For the tournament, she finished at 2-over-par with a 71-74-73-218, winning the event by six strokes over High Point's Sarah Kahn.
As a team, the Pirates won their second title of the 2018-19 academic year and their 15th since the program's inception prior to the 2010. Today The Hall fired a third-round 16-over-par, 304, a nine-stroke improvement from round two yesterday. For the three-round event, the Pirates shot a 54-over-par, 301-313-304-918, to best second place High Point by 10 strokes.
Lizzie Win (Sylvania, Ohio) had another strong tournament for the Pirates, adding to what is becoming a legendary career. The junior fired a 4-over-par, 76, on Tuesday to lift her to a third place tie among 80 individual golfers. Win tied Penn's Christina Park with a 13-over-par, 75-78-76-229. It's Win's sixth career top-5 finish, which ties her with Megan Tenhundfeld for fourth-most in Pirate history. Furthermore, it's her 13th top-10 finish, which ties Cassie Pantelas for second-most ever.
Junior Carolina Ronchel Salas (Huelva, Spain) finished her tournament with a 7-over-par, 79, on the strength of 12 pars. For the event, she tied for 19th place with a 21-over-par, 75-83-79-237. Finishing only one stroke behind Ronchel Salas was classmate Sammie Staudt (Coatesville, Pa.). Staudt saved her best round for Tuesday, finishing with a 5-over-par, 77. For the two-day event, she tied for 21st place with a 22-over-par, 80-81-77-238.
Junior Maddie Sager (Phoenixville, Pa.) also had her best round of the tournament today. She had 10 pars in route to a 6-over-par, 78. For the tournament, she tied for 26th place with a 25-over-par, 83-80-78-241.
Competing as an individual, freshman Sarah Fouratt (Santa Maria, Calif.) finished her tournament with a 13-over-par, 85. The Pirate newcomer had a strong tournament, finishing in a tie for 15th place with an 18-over-par, 72-77-85-234.
Tournament Details:
WILLIAM & MARY INTERCOLLEGIATE
Host: College of William & Mary
Location: Williamsburg, Va.
Course: Kingsmill Resort (River Course)
Course Vitals: Par-72, 6,025 yards
Dates: March 19-20, 2019, Three Rounds
The Course:
For more than three decades, The River Course has hosted the world's best players on both PGA and LPGA tours. Bordered by the calm azure waters of the James River, this famed championship course has tested the mettle of the game's most famous names. On a still morning, dew still beading on the precisely manicured greens, you can almost hear the echoes of applause for crisply struck irons and delicately holed putts. The River Course inspires you to test your own mettle. To see how you stack up against the greats of today, and of years gone by.
The course has been reborn thanks to the efforts of original architect Pete Dye. The renowned course designer tinkered just enough with his layout, bringing out the subtle details that make for a truly unforgettable round of golf.
The Field:
In addition to Seton Hall and host William & Mary, the field was comprised of 13 other teams including: Akron, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, High Point, Indiana State, Longwood, Loyola-Chicago, Monmouth, Mount St. Mary's, Penn, St. Francis (Pa.), Wagner and Yale.
