KENNESAW, GA. – The No.43  Kennesaw State women's golf team finished in third place after the final round of the Henssler Intercollegiate at Pinetree Country Club on Tuesday.
 
The Owls recorded a 1-over par round of 289 in the final round to finish at 20-over par 884 for the tournament. KSU recorded its best finish ever in the tournament. The Owls also picked up their eighth top 10 finish this season. No.19 Kent State won the event for the second year in a row with a 9-over par total of 873.
 
 "We had a really good performance today from the entire team," head coach Rhyll Brinsmead said. "This is the lowest we have shot in the history of the event and I'm really pleased it came in the final round. This is the type of play it will take to win a conference championship and I feel as though we are playing consistently good golf. I love the fact we are taking scores from every player in the lineup. We are so grateful for the support from Henssler Financial. Their commitment to this event and our team is remarkable and greatly appreciated."
