After two rounds of golf the SMU Women’s Golf team was tied for first place. By the end of the night Tuesday the Mustangs stood alone at the top. The Mustangs slipped by TCU and the University of San Francisco, who tied for second just three shots behind SMU.

The Mustangs were lead by sophomore Kate Ackerson, who was tied for first after Monday and finished tied for second overall. Kate Ackerson shot a combined five under par 211 for the three rounds. Jennifer Ackerson, Kate’s senior sister, finished sixth overall shooting a one over par 217.

SMU played without senior Laura Cross, but were still able to finish on top of the 16-team tournament. It was a different line-up than the Mustangs expect to use, but it got the job done in this tournament.

Other notable finishers were junior Lacy Jones, who finished 13th overall in the tournament, senior Kristina Rothengatte finished tied for 25th, freshman Sarah Dodson finished tied for 36th and Ashley Deatherage, a senior, completed the tournament tied for 59th.

There were 16 teams in the tournament and 87 players participated in the Jeannine McHaney Invitational held in Lubbock. The women’s golf team looks to stay on top at the Ann Arbor, Mich. for the Wolverine Invitational Sept. 30 and Oct. 1.
