WOMEN'S GOLF: NEITHER RAIN, NOR SNOW....

LADY LIONS OVERCOME WEATHER TO WIN NORTHERN REGIONAL

• Share:

Fall announced its presence this past weekend, dropping high temperatures by 20 degrees or more and chasing away sunshine with clouds, wind, rain and the first snowflakes of the season.

The bad weather played havoc with the WVIAC Women's Golf Northern Regional tournament, too, cutting in half the planned two-round event at the Moundsville Country Club in Moundsville, WV.

Still, Concord's Women's Golf team headed home with a warm feeling – and some hardware.

The Lady Lions claimed the team title and Medalist honors in the first conference tournament of the 2011 Fall season.

CU totaled a 337 team score to distance itself from a competitive eight-team field.

Wheeling Jesuit was runner-up, nine shots back of Concord.  The Cardinals were just one shot ahead of West Virginia Wesleyan, which was just one shot ahead of Ohio Valley, which was just one shot ahead of Seton Hill.

Concord's Marina Erice (right) earned Medalist honors with a six-over-par 77.  The sophomore from Pamplona, Spain was the only player to finish under 80.

CU put two more players in the top ten.  Justine Knox and Shelby Myers each shot an 83 to tie for 6th place.  Heather McMillen carded a 94 on a cold and blustery day.

Erice and Knox tied for most pars, with ten.  Knox topped the field in par-3 scoring and McMillen tied for the lead in birdies, with two.
