MOREHEAD, Ky. – The Northern Kentucky women's golf team competed against Morehead State in a two-team dual on Sunday to commence the 2019-2020 season. Senior
Kylie Lysack finished second on the individual leaderboard. Team scores were not posted as each player competed with individual status.
Lysack began her senior campaign with a strong showing for the Norse shooting rounds of 77-74 (+7). She hit 13-of-14 fairways in the first round and 12-of-14 fairways the second.
"My driver was the strongest part of my game today, so being able to keep it in play off the tee allowed for better shots into the green," said Lysack.
MSU's Gypsie Hutchinson captured medalist honors for the second year with a six-shot difference from Lysack. NKU's
Delaney Welsh finished fifth with consistent rounds of 78-79 (+13) and
Lillian Young, last season's leading scorer, followed with a sixth place result.
The NKU women travel to Dayton for the next dual match against the Flyers on Monday, September 2. The match will be held at Sugar Valley Golf Club in Bellbrook, Ohio.
