ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. - Piedmont women's golf concluded play at the Jekyll Island Collegiate Invitational on Sunday afternoon in St. Simons Island, Georgia.
The Lions fell back to 16th place on the team leaderboard after a final round team score of 321, just one stroke behind Saturday's 320.
Entering the day in the top five,
Erin Donovan started on hole 10 and was unable to recover from back-to-back triple bogeys on her second and third holes of the day. However, she did battle back with an eagle on her ninth hole of the day and an even par 36 on her inward nine to remain in the top 15 on the individual leaderboard, leading the Lions.
Overall, the Lions were very consistent, with all four counting scores ranging from 79-81.
Sarah Fox carded a final round 80, backing up Saturday's 78 with another solid performance that included a birdie on the par-4 17th.
Abigail Evans made a pair of birdies on her way to an 81 while
Keegan Goins also carded an 81, good for a T-60th finish out of 120 golfers for the event. This marked Goins' second consecutive round of 81 after opening with an 83.
Marissa Weaver delivered a non-counting 98.
As a team, the Lions finished just three shots back of USA South rival Methodist while Huntingdon took ninth place in the event.
