COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Tech women's golf team will aim to make it back-to-back tournament titles this week as the Golden Eagles head south to Hattiesburg, Miss. for the Golden Eagle Jam hosted by Southern Miss at Hattiesburg Country Club.
GOLDEN EAGLE JAM: 54 holes (36 Monday, 18 Tuesday), located at the par-72, 6,228-yard Hattiesburg Country Club in Hattiesburg, Miss. Teams will start teeing off each day at 8:30 a.m. CT with a shotgun start.
GOLDEN EAGLE LINEUP: Competing for the Golden Eagles are sophomore Hollee Sadler, senior Whitney Robertson, junior Allyson Dunn, senior Lydia Triplett, sophomore Lindsay Miller and, as an individual, redshirt freshman Arianna Clemmer.
THE COMPETITION: The nine-team field consists of host Southern Miss, Central Arkansas, Lipscomb, Louisiana-Monroe, McNeese State, Murray State, Tennessee Tech, UAB, West Florida.
THOUGHTS FROM COACH BROWN: "After last week's victory, the women have a ton of confidence going into Southern Miss. The field looks to be very strong, and we are certainly up to the challenge. We will look to capitalize on the momentum stemming from UNCG and put ourselves in a great position come Tuesday."
WHAT TO WATCH FOR: Momentum is on the Golden Eagles' side this week, as the Tech squad enters play in Hattiesburg, Miss. coming off its first tournament victory in four years. Hollee Sadler led the way, taking home her first individual medalist honors after taking first with a 219. Both she and Whitney Robertson claimed All-Tournament honors and will look to repeat that success.
