Pirates Play the Jan Weaver Invitational This Weekend

MURRAY, KY. - The Seton Hall women's golf team will return to tournament play this weekend with three rounds of golf at the Jan Weaver Invitational at Miller Memorial Golf Course, April 9-10.

Tournament Details:
JAN WEAVER INVITATIONAL
Host: Murray State University
Location: Murray, Ky.
Course: Miller Memorial Golf Course
Course Vitals: Par-72, 6,024 yards
Dates: April 9-10, 2021

THE COURSE:
Frances E. Miller Memorial Golf Course presents a unique challenge for competitive and recreational golfers alike. Heralded as one of the west Kentucky lakes region's finest courses, Miller Memorial offers a variety of challenges for the most discriminating golfer.

Measuring 6,592 yards from the championship tees, the par-71 layout has two distinct nines which require a wide array of shot-making. The outward nine is set on hilly terrain and requires pinpoint accuracy from tee to green, whereas the inward half rewards length and accurate long iron play.

The longest hole on the course, the par-five 17th, is 535 yards long, while the shortest hole is the par-three 16th, measuring 171 yards. Professionally manicured MiniVerde Ultradwarf Bermuda Grass Greens are surrounded by 50 sand bunkers, with three scenic water hazards also coming into play. The fairways feature automatically watered Bermuda grass.

THE FIELD:
In addition to Seton Hall and host Murray State, the field features 11 other teams including: Austin Peay State, Belmont, Bradley, Central Arkansas, Dayton, Eastern Kentucky, Evansville, Georgia State, Stamford, Southern Illinois and Tennessee Tech.

LAST TIME OUT:
Lizzie Win (Sylvania, Ohio) and Mia Kness (Venetia, Pa.) each fired a 1-over-par, 73, in the final round to lift the Seton Hall women's golf team to a seventh-place tie at the Georgia State Invitational on March 30.

As a team, Seton Hall had its best single round of the tournament on Tuesday, shaving off four strokes from its second-round score. The Pirates tied South Alabama for seventh place with a 41-over-par, 301-304-300-905. BIG EAST rival Xavier won the team title at 18-over-par.

The top Pirate for the tournament was freshman Ginevra Ricciardelli (Rome, Italy). Ricciardelli was done in by a triple-bogey on the par-3, No. 14 hole, but otherwise had a solid final round, finishing with an 8-over-par, 80. For the event, she tied for 16th place with an 8-over-par, 74-70-80-224.
