The Salukis finished 13th in the 16-team field and shot 309 across all three rounds.Â
"As a team we made much better course management decisions but short shot expertise was lacking with such complicated green complexes," SIU Head Coach Cindy Bodmer said.Â
Georgia State won the event with a 297-283-289 (869 +5). Louisiana-Monroe took second and Houston Christian finished third. Missouri Valley foes Missouri State (4th) and Belmont (5th) also had solid finishes.Â
Southern's top scorer played as an individual during the two days as senior Secilia Ho finished tied for 18th, after a career-low 69 in the second round Monday. Ho finished 77-69-76-222.Â
Junior Janie Samattiyadeekul (78-74-76) and senior Ayanna Habeel (75-77-76) each finished T36 as both finished with 228. Sophomore Morgan Gindler (T56) finished with a 78-76-79 while fellow sophomore Kylee Vaughan finished 72nd with rounds of 78-82-78.Â
Now that the fall had ended, Bodmer said she doesn't want to rush to the practice green.Â
"It has been a tough five weeks on the road and the players need to focus on their studies," she said. "After a short break, we will work on developing pre-shot routines and improving our short shot skill set."Â
Southern returns to the course Feb. 20-21 for The Islander Classic in San Antonio, hosted by Texas A&M Corpus Christi.Â
