Opening Tee
After a second-place finish at the Rio Verde Invitational in February, the Kennesaw State women's golf team travels to Jacksonville, Fla. for the UNF Collegiate hosted by North Florida.
This marks the Owls' first appearance at the event.
Junior Lara Jecnik leads the charge for the Owls, having finished inside the top 16 in each of her last seven tournaments.
Kennesaw State enters the tournament as the third-highest ranked team according to Golfstat, behind only Furman (60) and Sam Houston (58).
KSU has finished second in four of the six tournaments this season.
 
Setting the Pace
With KSU's tied-for-fifth finish at the FAU Paradise Invitational in February, head coach Erin Thorne's Owls set a program record with an eighth consecutive top-five finish. That mark was extended to nine with the team's second-place finish at the Rio Verde Invitational.
The Owls finished top four in every event during the fall, the most to start a season in program history. The team also set a program record with seven consecutive top-four finishes dating back to the 2021-22 season.
