Aces To play On Sunday And Monday
This weekend, the University of Evansville women’s golf team opens up its spring slate at the ASU Spring Kickoff in Prattville, Alabama.
Hosted by Alabama State University, the tournament will be held at the Robert Trent Jones Course. Sunday begins with two rounds of action before Monday’s final trip around the course.
Evansville is set for an exciting return to the course after gaining momentum in the spring of 2020. The Purple Aces return to the course where they were victorious a season ago in the ASU Spring Classic, pacing the competition on the way to the tournament championship.
UE had three of the top five individual finishers in the event, led by Sophia Rohleder. Last season, she paced the team with a 76.83 stroke average. She came home third in the victory in Alabama before tying for 10th at the Benbow Invitational, which was Evansville’s final event of the shortened spring season.
Caitlin O’Donnell had an excellent performance in last year’s team win. She came home in fourth place and shot her season-low round of 72 in the middle round. Her 2019-20 season finished with an 82.07 stroke average. Taking 5th place in last year’s ASU Spring Classic was Alyssa McMinn. A final round of 73 helped her to reach the top five. Her season average checked in at an 80.78.
The trio returns in 2021 along with sophomore Allison Enchelmayer and junior Taylor Keating. UE also welcomes a pair of freshmen – Newburgh native Carly Frazier and Evansville product Mallory Russell, who is a Memorial High School grad.
