Clinched Berth to NCAA Regional Tournament
VALDOSTA, Ga. - No. 48 North Florida women's golf edged out Kennesaw State by four strokes to become champions of the 2022 ASUN Tournament at Kinderlou Forest Golf Club on Tuesday afternoon.
After a slow start to the day with only four combined birdies as a team in the front nine, the Ospreys picked it up once again in the back nine with nine birdies, including three straight from Mindy Herrick, to secure their third ASUN Conference Championship in program history.
Christin Eisenbeiss made the ASUN All-Tournament team in back-to-back years, while Herrick made the All-Tournament team for the third time in her career. Herrick also turned in her fourth-career top-10 finish in the conference tournament.
UNF and Kennesaw State were combined for the past six ASUN Tournament titles heading into this week. The Ospreys were able to break a three-year title streak for the Owls to pick up their third team title since 2016 and first since 2017.
