Sports Women's golf looks to take advantage of weather
By Kyle Craig Staff writer The Mercyhurst College women's golf team took to the stage this past Saturday and Sunday at the Ashland Invitational. The Lakers finished the weekend with a two-round total of 755, placing eighth overall. Once again junior Caitlin Cummings led the team with a two-round total of 176 that put her tied for 28th overall. Cummings believes that the warm weather will light a spark in the Lady Lakers play this spring. "This spring season has been a difficult one for our team. Before our tournaments we really didn't get a chance to play at all on a golf course," Cummings said. "Now, that we can play outside our goals for our next tournament are higher and we're really trying to take advantage of the good weather." The University of Dayton took full advantage of the weather, finishing in first with 76 over par. Rounding out the top three for the tournament were Ashland and Allegheny College. First place for individuals in the tournament went to Gannon's Jessica Slonaker after she shot a 159 during the two-day tournament. The girls were supposed to travel to Penn State Behrend for their invitational on Thursday, but according to sources from the golf team the tournament has been cancelled. The girls will next take action as they take the links at the University of California of Pennsylvania Invitational in Pittsburgh. With only two more tournaments left in the season, the Lady Lakers are looking to make a statement for next year. "Our team is expecting to improve from the last tournaments and really concentrate on practicing for our GLIAC conference championship in Findlay," Cummings said. The top five Mercyhurst players at this weekend's tournament were Cummings 28th, Mattye Laurer 52nd, Alanna Kirwan 55th, Arielle Chong 57th and Lauren Montebell 60th. The Lakers will travel to Pittsburgh for the California, Pa. Invitational this weekend.
