Freshman Medy Thavong highlighted the Owls on Tuesday, turning in the low KSU score of the day with a two-over par 74 and finished her first collegiate tournament in 71st with a 19-over par score of 235.
 
BYU claimed the team title with a 12-over par tournament total of 876, besting San Jose State by four strokes as the Spartans turned in a 16-over par total of 880. Cal (888), San Francisco (891) and Boise State (892) rounded out the top five.
 
Texas Tech's Sarah Brown took home individual medalist honors after posting a four-under par total of 212 and was the only player to register a subpar score. SJSU's Elizabeth Schultz and Hannah Sodersten of Fresno State finished in a tie for second with an even-par score of 216.
 
The Owls will next head to Greenville, S.C., for the Lady Paladin Invitational, hosted by Furman on Sept. 20-22.
 
Quotable
"We saw positive improvement today. I am proud of Medy Thavong and Clara Aveling for shooting the numbers they did today. Medy finished eagle-birdie to shoot 74. It is unfortunate we dug such a big hole yesterday as we had one of the low scores of the day. I know we had some freshman nerves for this event and I am confident we will shake these off before Furman's event this weekend."
- Kennesaw State Head Coach Rhyll Brinsmead
