The Lady Ranger golf team wrapped up their 2018 season at the Oklahoma Intercollegiate Tournament, hosted by Cameron at Lawton Country Club in Lawton, Oklahoma.
The Lady Rangers finished 10th overall with a score of 654. They placed ahead of GAC foes Southern Arkansas and Arkansas-Monticello.
Senior Rylie Eller ended with a score of 166 and freshman Cassidy Pettigrew moved up 11 spots into the standings between the first and second round for a total of 169.
Ashley Watts had a pair of 85’s in two rounds.
Nikkole Donk rounded out the scoring for the black and red with a 94 in the first round and 89 in the second.
Senior golfer Brittani Casement finished out her career in high fashion. She finished 5th place overall in the tournament.
She had scores of 74 and 75 in rounds one and two, respectively. These totals were enough to tie the school record set in 2011.
From Wichita, Kansas, the senior’s first round card is the second lowest in program history. Casement set the top single round score of 73 in the first round of the 2018 Henderson State Spring Invite in Mountain Home, Arkansas, in April.
She finished the tournament with one-under on par three’s and also shot even-par on par five’s, which game her the second most birdies in the tournament with seven.
With her performance and scores, she was named by the Great American Conference as the conference Women’s Golfer of the Week.
This outstanding honor made her the first ever Lady Ranger golfer to receive this title.
