Women’s Golf Moves Up One Spot at Babs Steffens Invitational – Bucknell University Athletics
RESULTS
DeBARY, Fla. – The Bucknell women’s golf team posted its best score of the week with a final-round 315, and the Bison moved up one spot to 12th place as the Babs Steffens Invitational wrapped up at DeBary Country Club.
Paige Richter had a strong finish with a 3-over-par 75. She made 15 pars in a consistent final round and was Bucknell’s low player for the week with a 237 total (84-78-75).
Sophia Bardunias followed with a 79, and the Bison also counted an 80 from Nicole Yun and an 81 from Tara Thomas. Katherine Vice rounded out the starting five with an 82.
The story of the day for the Bison was Erin Drahnak, who blew away her previous career best while playing as an individual. Drahnak shot a 2-over-par 74, making a birdie and 14 pars on the day. It was tied for the ninth-best score in the entire field on Tuesday.
Jillian Fatkin of Queens was the medalist at 1-over 217 (73-71-73). She finished one stroke better than the Stetson duo of Isaki Sakashite and Filippa Jansson.
The Hatters entered the final round with a big lead in the team standings, and their closing 295 was plenty good enough for a 17-shot win over second-place Jacksonville. Seton Hall, Queens, and Keiser rounded out the top five.
After playing two tournaments in Florida, the Bison will next head to Boulder City, Nev., for the Jackrabbit Spring Invitational on March 10-11.
