OPELIKA, Ala.- The No. 35 Kennesaw State women's golf team closed its 2018-19 season at the NCAA Auburn Regional on Wednesday at Saugahatchee Country Club.
"Today was more like what this team was capable of," head coach

NCAA regionals is make or break and we simply did not have it this week. But that doesn't define our season. Thank you to our seniors for all they have done to make this program what it is! This season was record setting and we took the program to new levels. We are looking forward to some rest and regrouping and know that this squad has set the foundation for the future."
