STOCKBRIDGE, Ga. – In the final round of action at the 2015 John Kirk Panther Intercollegiate, the FGCU women's golf team carded its best team score of the event with a 307. The Eagles' used Tuesday's score at Eagle's Landing Country Club to combine for a 929 total score (312-310-307) and took 10th place in the field.
 
FGCU finished just behind Elon and only nine strokes out of fifth place. Troy took the tournament title at 892, with Middle Tennessee, Western Carolina and Eastern Kentucky rounding out the top five. The Green and Blue placed ahead of Atlantic Sun foe Stetson as well as Louisiana Monroe, South Alabama and Jacksonville State.
 
Individually, the Eagles were led by freshman Madison Easterbrook (Burlington, Ontario/Aldershot High School). Easterbrook played three consistent rounds with scores of 77, 77 and 76 in the three-day event. She finished tied for 17th place in the field of over 80 players with a total score of 230.
 
"We played better today and that was our goal before the tournament, to improve each day," said head coach Sarah Trew. "We had ourselves in a really good position to notch a top-eight finish, however we just couldn't hold on coming in. We need to learn how to finish stronger with pars and birdies instead of bogeys and doubles. We have some time before conference so we can attack our weaknesses and go in swinging. I am proud of Maddie for her top-20 finish. She played consistent for us all three rounds and she is really close to breaking through with some low numbers."
 
Easterbrook carded a plus four score of 76 in the final day of competition with seven bogeys and three birdies.
 
Senior Chelsea Guoynes (Traverse City, Mich./Traverse City Central High School) placed second on the team with an overall score of 233 and an overall ranking of 29. Guoynes also carded a 76 in the third round with five bogeys and a birdie on hole 7 to complement her previous rounds of 80 and 77.
 
 
 
Sara Detlefsen (Eagan, Minn./Minnesota Virtual Academy) tied Guoynes with a 233 and a 29th place finish. Detlefen carded a 72 in the first round but was unable to get back into the 70s, with scores of 81 and 80 in the final two rounds. However, her first-round score was strong enough to keep her among the field's top-30.
 
Mei Khuan Yong (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia/S.M.K. Cochrane) and Georgia Price (Bude, England/Fort Myers High School) rounded out the Green and Blue's lineup with total scores of 235 and 247, respectively. Yong carded a 75 in Tuesday's final round to finish with marks of 85, 75, 75 and a 41st place finish. Price carded an 80 in her third round and ended the event with scores of 83, 84, 80.
