RESULTS
PANAMA CITY, Fla. – Led by a 4-over-par 76 from freshman Paige Richter, the Bucknell women's golf team posted its best score of the week in the final round of Lipscomb's Lady Bison Bay Point Classic and passed UAB to finish in 12th place in a strong field on Bay Point's Nicklaus Course.
Bucknell improved each day, posting a 321 on Tuesday, after opening with 347-329. The Bison started the day 17 shots behind UAB but caught the Blazers by two shots to move into the 12th spot. Lipscomb won the tournament with a 909 total, four shots in front of runner-up Florida Gulf Coast and 17 ahead of third-place North Alabama.
Richter turned in Bucknell's best card of the week with a 76 that featured three birdies, eight pars, and nothing worse than bogey. Richter finished T-21st with a 235 total, putting her just one shot out of the top 20.
Tatum McKelvey closed with an 80, followed by Kayla Yi with an 82 and Kelsey Yi with an 83.
Laerke Jensen of Charleston Southern came from behind to win medalist honors. Her final-round 74 left her with a 6-over 222, good for a two-shot victory over Dayton's Sarah Frazier.
Bucknell's next tournament will be March 13-14 at the Southwest Minnesota State Spring Classic at the Wigwam Resort in Arizona.
