TicketsLEXINGTON, Ky. – University of Cincinnati women's golf will return to the course Monday, Sept. 17, to compete in the two-day, Morehead State Greenbrier Invitational at Greenbrier Country Club.
The Bearcats were originally scheduled to play in the ECU Pirate Collegiate Classic, Monday-Tuesday, but pivoted to MSU's event after the tournament in Greenville, North Carolina was canceled due to Hurricane Florence.
The 54-hole tournament features an eight-team field, including three teams the Red & Black competed against this week at the NKU Fall Classic. The complete field includes host Morehead State, Austin Peay, Belmont, Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, UNC Asheville, Winthrop, and Wofford.
Action will begin both Monday and Tuesday with 9 a.m. shotgun starts. Teams will play 36 holes on Monday and 18 on Tuesday.
// BEARCATS REWIND
UC teed off the season early this week in record-breaking fashion at the NKU Fall Classic at Elks Run Golf Club in Batavia, Ohio. The Bearcats shot a tournament record of 287 during the tournament's opening round and a 297 in the second. Carrying a 12-stroke lead into Tuesday's final round, the Red & Black kept the momentum going with a final-round 292 to total a tournament and program record three-round score of 876 to run away with the team title. In addition, four Bearcats finished in the top five on the player leaderboard and earned All-Tournament honors -- senior Anika Hitt (Mequon, Wis./Homestead) and sophomore Vanessa Manrique (Bogotá, Colombia) in a tie for second, sophomore Angela Lopez, (Bogotá, Colombia) in fourth, and junior Alyssa Burritt (Bellbrook, Ohio/Bellbrook) in fifth. Each golfer's three-round total matched or bested a previous record of 220 at the event – Hitt (215), Manrique (215), Lopez (218), Burritt (220).
