TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The University of Minnesota women's golf team produced its best round of the tournament and moved into the top-10 as the Florida State Match-Up drew to a close Sunday at the Seminole Legacy Golf Course. The Gophers moved up four places to finish the event in eighth place (313-303-296--912).
Notable
As a team, the Maroon and Gold recorded 13 birdies on the day.
Sophomore Grace Curran earned a career-best finish and led the way for the Gophers as she tied for sixth overall (76-72-73--221). Curran posted one eagle and one birdie in the final round. Senior Joanne Free (77-76-77-230) followed as the next highest finisher and tied for 34th in her first tournament of the season.
Annabelle Ackroyd (83-77-73--233) consistently improved each round to end tied for 44th. In today's third round she recorded five birdies. Two strokes behind was senior Grace Kellar who tied for 51st (83-78-74--235). Sophomore Emma Carpenter (77-83-76--236) rounded out the lineup with a T-53 finish.

"We are super proud of the team for the way they executed today," head coach Rhyll Brinsmead said. "The conditions were much tougher today and we took advantage and moved up the leaderboard. This team has so much talent and when we put three whole rounds together we have a chance of being really competitive. Grace Curran put together another fantastic tournament with a top six finish against a really deep field. Her play was outstanding all three days. We picked up some quality wins this week and we're headed in the right direction. This will be great momentum before we head to Briar's Creek in a couple of weeks."
Up Next
After a two week break in competition, the Gophers will travel to South Carolina to take part in the Briar's Creek Invitational from March 15-16.
