SEDONA, Ariz. — The Southern Illinois women's golf team recorded its highest finish of the season over the weekend, placing eighth at the tournament in Sedona, Arizona.
The Salukis showed steady improvement across the three-day event and finished just one stroke shy of seventh place, which was claimed by Montana.
Head coach Sam Sambursky said the team continues to take positive steps forward as the season progresses.
"We're proud of the consistency we've shown over these three rounds, but we know there's still room to grow," Sambursky said. "We are learning how to compete and make every shot count."
