More Information:    

          GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The Coastal Carolina University women’s golf team fired the third-best final round of the tournament and moved up four spots to finish in eighth at the 2009 SunTrust Lady Gator Invitational, April 6-7. Hosted by the University of Florida, the two-day, 54-hole event was played at the Mark Bostick Golf Course at the University of Florida (Par 70 - 5,954 yards) in Gainesville, Fla.

            Under very windy conditions for the second straight day, the Chanticleers put together their best round of the tournament, shooting a 308 in the final round to move up four slots to eighth. The 308 was one of just three team scores under 310 in the tough conditions and moved Coastal Carolina ahead of No. 46 Furman and No. 49 Florida State in the final standings. No. 7 Auburn and No. 10 Duke tied for the team championship at 913, one shot ahead of Georgia State in third.

            Coastal Carolina was led by junior Aruka Felgueroso, who tied for 22nd at 232, with senior Jessica Vincent and sophomore Carmen Jones next in a tie for 41st at 238. Senior Ann Maness moved up 21 spots in the final round to a tie for 53rd after carding the tournament's best final round with a 72 to end at 240. Sophomore Alicia Grier rounded out the Chanticleer effort in a tie for 57th at 240. Duke's Amanda Blumenherst took home medalist honors with a three-round total of 222.

            The Chanticleers are next in action at the 2009 Big South Conference Women's Golf Championship, Mon.-Wed., Apr. 13-15. Coastal Carolina was announced today as the tournament's top seed for the second straight year and will look to capture the League's automatic bid to the NCAA Regionals when the team takes to the course at The Patriot Golf Club in Ninety-Six, S.C.
