Sophomore Whitney Robertson didn't miss a beat last weekend after earning All-Tournament honors in last year's Ohio Valley Conference Championships. Robertson set a new program record for a 54-hole score last week, shooting a 222 while taking home an All-Tournament nod at the Jan Weaver-MSU Invitational. The Golden Eagles will look for her to help lead the team once again this week.
"When the schedule was put together for this fall, we were very excited to get the opportunity to play at Louisville's event," head coach Polk Brown said. "To play in a tournament hosted by an ACC school is a great opportunity for this program. The girls are very excited, and we look forward to competing in such an outstanding event. The course looks to be outstanding, and the field will arguably be the strongest we play in all year. We can't wait to get up there and compete."
