LAST COMPETITION
On October 6, Iowa hosted the Hawkeye Intercollegiate and finished fourth out of 13 teams. UT-Chattanooga took first place. Junior Tyrette Metzendorf, who earlier this season broke a school-record for 18 holes, tied for fourth with a 227. Senior Jill Marcum also finished in the top 10, tying for sixth place (228).
QUOTING HEAD COACH Kelly Crawford
“This is the strongest competition we will face all season. We’re still trying to find the right mix of players to go with for a lineup but we have to make some improvement in some areas, particularly the short game. It’s the last fall tournament for us and we would like to see some positive results.”
