BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Continuing their fall season slate, the WKU Women’s Golf Team makes an in-state trip to Louisville to compete in the Cardinal Cup this weekend.
The event hosted by University of Louisville women’s golf team — which is coached by Glasgow native Whitney Young — tees off Friday morning at university’s golf club.
Former Glasgow golfer Nina McMurtrey goes into Louisville off of a top 50 finish for WKU, tying for 47th in the Boilermaker Classic. Leading things off for the Lady Tops, senior Catie Craig is at the top of the card. Craig is coming off of a successful Boilermaker Classic where she tied for 21st. The senior put in six birdies and scored a 226 total score in WKU’s opening tournament. Sydney Hackett is next on the card for WKU. The junior was the team’s top finisher in the Boilermaker Classic, tying for fourth. Hackett was one of seven players in the field to put in an eagle. Junior Averi Cline returns to the lineup for WKU after tying for 30th in the Boilermaker Classic. Julia Zigrossi rejoins the lineup for the Lady Tops. Zigrossi tied her collegiate career-best round in the Boilermaker Classic after shooting a 1-under 71 in the second round.
“We are really looking forward to the tournament this week. The team played well in qualifying and I know the course will be in good shape,” Head Coach Adam Gary said. “Purdue gave us some good momentum and we are excited to keep it going.”
This will be WKU’s first time competing in the Cardinal Cup since the 2019-2020 season. The Lady Tops finished 10th in the tournament their last time out. The field will feature Cincinnati, Mercer, Eastern Kentucky, and CUSA member Middle Tennessee.
