WOMEN’S GOLF PLACES THIRD IN SEASON-OPENING HOME INVITATIONAL

Cicero, N.Y. – Graduate student Meghan McKeen (Syracuse, N.Y./Christian Brothers Academy) placed fifth to lead the Le Moyne College women's golf team to a third-place finish at its annual Fall Invitational on Saturday and Sunday at the par-72, 5854-yard Lake Shore Yacht & Country Club.

Adelphi University and Dominican College tied for first place with a two-day score of 665. Adelphi opened the event with a 334 to land in first place and then posted a 331 in the second round, while Dominican carded a 339 in the first round and a 326 on day two. The Dolphins finished in third place with a 671 off rounds of 347 and a tournament-best 324. The 324 is tied for the sixth-best score in the program's history and is the best since another 324 at Gannon on September 30, 2017. Saint Rose's Erika Fuentes earned medalist honors with a 149 following rounds of 75 and 74.

McKeen's fifth-place finish came after tallying a career-best total of 160, which included 20 pars, the third-most of the weekend. She opened the invitational with an 86 to land in a five-way tie for 12th place. She then carded a career-best 74, which included the tournament's only eagle, a birdie and 11 pars, on Sunday to vault up the standings. Her 74 is tied for the fourth-best in the program's history and she is just the third Dolphin to break 75.

Sophomore Mia Avotins (Liverpool, N.Y./Liverpool) finished in sixth place with a 163, which included 18 pars and a pair of birdies, following rounds of 83 and 80.

Freshman Thais Forbes (Atlanta, Ga./Coral Gables (Fla.)) opened her career by placing 20th with a 175 following scores of 86 and 89, while classmate Riley Stuver (Webster, N.Y./Our Lady of Mercy) was one shot back in 21st off scores of 94 and a lifetime-best 82.

Sophomore Margaret Dec (Baldwinsville, N.Y./C.W. Baker) rounded out Le Moyne's team with a career-best 180 to place in a tie for 28th off rounds of 92 and career-best 88.
