UC won its second-consecutive team tournament title on Sept. 18 with a final-round score of 293 at the Morehead State Greenbrier Invitational in Lexington, Kentucky. The Bearcats recorded a resounding win with a 29-stroke advantage over second-place Austin Peay. UC's scoring team was impressive with three golfers in the top five, led by junior Alyssa Burritt (Bellbrook, Ohio/Bellbrook) who finished runner up with a three-round score of 226 (+10). The Red & Black's individual competitors were also strong with three golfers finishing among the top 15, including junior Daniela Murcia (Bogotá, Colombia) placing in a tie for fifth with a three-day 229 (+13). The vast majority of the competing Bearcats held steady or improved their scores during the final round after the scoring team shot an opening-round 310, followed by a second-round 304. UC's third-round score of 293 was 11 strokes better than any of the other competing teams over the two days.
