Sanatoga, Pa. (Sept. 22, 2015) - Freshman
Emily Gilbert earne low medalist honors and shot 77 to break the school and conference mark in consecutive events, and sophomore
Cayla McCarty shot 80 to lead Alvernia University to a team-record 344 and first place out of six teams at the Ursinus Women's Golf Invitational Tuesday afternoon at Raven's Claw Golf Club.
Gilbert shot 78 a week ago at East Stroudsburg to better the previous mark of 80--formerly held by McCarty--then shaved a stroke off that number with a round of 37-40 on Tuesday. McCarty used a tournament-best 39 on the back nine on her way to 80 at Raven's Claw.
Emily Sabo posted a 92 and
Jordan Kissner shot 95 for the Crusaders.
Gilbert and McCarty both started the invitational on the par 5 first. Gilbert went out in 37 with two bogies and a birdie at the 495-yard par 5 seventh. She played the first four holes on the back in five over before carding a birdie 2 at the 117-yard par 3 14th. She followed with a bogey at 15 then three straight pars to close.
McCarty had a stretch of four straight bogies on the front nine, but also bounced back with a birdie 2 at the 140-yard par 3 sixth. She made a double on 9 to go out in 41 then carded five pars and four bogies on the back nine to finish at 9-over 80.
Alvernia returns to action next Thursday at Albright.
