BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Lady Topper Golf is set to compete in Arkansas State's Lady Red Wolves Classic for the first time since 2013. The 54-hole event begins Monday and will conclude on Tuesday.
WKU is coming off a second-place finish at the Hoover Invitational on Sept. 22. The Lady Toppers were led by sophomore Sarah Arnold who finished t-8th at the tournament after carding a 3-over 219. Arnold is at the top of the WKU lineup heading into the Lady Red Wolves Classic.
"Overall, everyone played really well for the tough course," said Arnold on the team's performance. Every Lady Topper in the lineup at the Hoover Invitational finished in the top 25 on the individual leaderboard.
Following Arnold in the Classic lineup is senior captain Megan Clarke. The England native has finished in the top 15 at each of WKU's tournaments so far this fall. Graduate senior Mary Joiner is in the third spot while freshman Rylea Marcum takes the fourth.
Redshirt senior Teri Doss will round out the Lady Topper lineup. South Carolina native and freshman Rachel Rich will compete as an individual for the second time this fall.
There are 14 other teams in the field at the Lady Red Wolves Classic, including eight teams the Lady Toppers have defeated at least once already this year. WKU will see BYU, Central Arkansas, Houston Baptist, Missouri State, Stephen F. Austin and Southern Miss for the first time this fall at the Classic. Other teams to note in the field include South Alabama, Southern Illinois and Conference USA foes Middle Tennessee and UAB.
WKU is scheduled to play 36 holes on Monday followed by the final 18 holes on Tuesday at the par-72, 6,565-yard Sage Meadows Country Club. Both days will begin at 8:30 a.m. CT with a shotgun start. Live scoring for the event can be found here.
"I'm really excited," said Arnold on the upcoming event. "I think since it's a new course, everyone is going to have fun playing it. It's been about two and a half weeks since we've played any tournament competition, so I think everyone is excited."
