Normal, Ill. - The Southern Illinois women's golf team started its fall season with a third place finish at the Redbird Invitational on Sunday.

"I am pleased with the outcome but the second round yesterday was a little rough but it's nice to see where we stand against conference opponents and a good way to start our season" head coach Diane Daugherty said
Alisha Matthews finished in a tie for 17th, with an overall score of 237 (77, 78, 82) while Ashleigh Rushing finished tied for 19th with a 238 (77, 82, 79) and Cassie Rushing rounded out the Salukis line up in a tie for 22nd with a 239 (79, 82, 78).
"With all our girls finishing in the top 25, it shows the depth of this team and that will be a key for us this season," Daugherty said.
