SIMPSONVILLE, Ky. – Sophomore Dulcie Sverdloff highlighted the Kennesaw State women's golf team's play during the final round of the Cardinal Cup as the Owls finished third after firing a season-best team round of 297 (+9) on Tuesday (Sept. 16) at the par-72, 6,223-yard University of Louisville Golf Course.
 
The Owls finished the tournament at 33-over par with a 54-hole total of 897, just three strokes off of second-place Memphis at 30-over par and nine strokes off host Louisville, who captured the 17-team event with a 24-over par total of 888.
 
"We persevered today after difficult starting holes," said head coach Rhyll Brinsmead. "I am proud of the focus on executing shots and capitalizing on opportunities. Dulcie's round was fantastic after a frustrating 36 yesterday. I am pleased to move up to third and know we are yet to play our best golf."
 
Sverdloff drained five birdies en route to a three-under par final round score of 69, which equals her best collegiate round, and finished the tournament with a 12-over par total of 228 to tie for 22nd.   
 
"I am extremely pleased after such a disappointing day yesterday to bounce back with a round in the 60S," said Sverdloff. "I hit the ball well today, holed more putts and played the tough holes very well. It is a good boost for the rest of the season."
 
With a third place showing senior Kaew Preamchuen tied her best career finish following a final-round four-over par 76 for a three-over par 219 total and just six strokes off of medalist Danielle Lemek of Bradley, who registered a three-under par 213 for the win.
 
Joining Preamchuen in the top 10 was senior Ines Lescudier with a final-round three-over par 75 to place in a tie for seventh with a six-over par total of 222.
 
Sophomore Laura Estefenn tied for 29th with a 14-over par total of 230 after a final-round 77, while redshirt-senior Hayley Clinning, playing as an individual tied for 47th following a final-round 75 for a 18-over par total of 234. Rounding out the Owls was freshman Henriette Nielsen, who made her collegiate debut at the Cardinal Cup and placed in a tie for 65th with a 23-over par total of 239 after a final round score of 82 on Tuesday.
 
The Owls continue their fall slate next week with the Lady Paladin Invitational, hosted by Furman on Sept. 21-23 in Greenville, S.C.
