MISSOURI CITY, Texas -Lina
Lagergren shot a career-best 73 to lead the ULM women's golf team in the final
round of the Houston Baptist Husky Invitational Tuesday at the Sienna
Plantation Golf Course. Lagergren finished in a tie for fifth place with
teammate Lina Billing and the Warhawks moved up one spot to finish in fourth
place overall.
Lagergren climbed 12 spots on
the leaderboard following her career round, while Billing jumped six spots
after carding a 75 in Tuesday's final round. They were not the only two Warhawks
to shoot up the leaderboard as Britany Hanna moved up four spots, Taynee
Pearson jumped two places and Monica Brown climbed four positions.
Houston Baptist maintained its
opening day lead to win the team title by two strokes, 927-929, over Texas-San
Antonio. UTSA's Paola Valerio shot a final round 75 to jump Shelby Hardy from
Sam Houston State to claim individual medalist honors.
