GERMANTOWN, Tenn. — WKU golfer Mary Joiner earned her third top-10 finish of the season by tying for sixth Tuesday at the Memphis Women's Intercollegiate.
The junior Joiner carded an even-par 71 in the final round at the 6,105-yard Ridgeway Country Club, giving her a 54-hole tally of 215 (75-69-71). That ties for the 10th-lowest tournament score by a Lady Topper in program history.
After tallying 26 pars across the first two rounds, Joiner only had seven Tuesday to go with six birdies, four bogeys and a double-bogey. She had 10 total birdies in the tournament.
This is the 12th top-10 performance of Joiner's decorated career.
As a team, the Lady Toppers finished seventh with a 903 (303-300-300) total. Penn State won the team title at 854, while Memphis' Michaela Fletcher was the individual champion at 205.
"It was a tough week," WKU head coach Adam Gary said. "The course was set up very challenging and the cool temperatures made it play long. I'm really proud of Mary's comeback after her slow start to get a top-10. We have some work to do before conference in a couple of weeks."
Junior Abigail Smee tied for 30th with a 228 (77-75-76) total, while freshman Lizzie Loy was one shot back at 229 (75-78-76).
Juinor Bailey Tyree (80-78-77) and sophomore Megan Clarke (76-78-84) rounded out WKU's card at 235 and 238, respectively.
The Lady Toppers will have a couple of weeks off before they compete in the 2019 Conference USA Championships on April 15-17 in Fort Myers, Fla.
