WEST POINT, Miss. – WKU women’s golf concluded its fall with a strong eighth-place finish at The Ally, hosted by Mississippi State University at Old Waverly Golf Club. The event was won by Florida at 15-under, as the Gators were followed on the leaderboard by No. 5 Mississippi State, No. 11 Vanderbilt and No. 19 Auburn.
Former Glasgow standout Nina McMurtrey finished tied for 70th as an individual. She finished the three rounds at 19-over par with a 235. McMurtrey shot 78, 76 and finished with an 81.
As a team, the Lady Tops had 15 birdies during the final round on Wednesday.
“I’m proud of the way the team finished the fall this week at a very tough event! We had several golfers step up throughout the week and compete at a high level, especially in a field that featured multiple SEC and Big Ten programs,” Head coach Adam Gary said. “It was a challenge, especially with Catie Craig playing in LPGA Qualifying this weekend, but the team battled and will be able to build off a very strong fall as we look ahead to the spring season in a few months.”
The Lady Tops will be back in action Feb. 21, 2025 at the Reynolds Lake Oconee Invitational in Macon, Ga. Meanwhile, Catie Craig continues to compete at LPGA Qualifying in Venice, Fla. She is inside the Top 50 at even par through two rounds.
