Herrick Lead Ospreys With Top-20 Placement

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - No. 49 North Florida women's golf wrapped up the final round of play in Tallahassee to finish the tournament in eighth place at the NCAA Tallahassee Regional.

The Ospreys put together their best placement in an NCAA Regional tournament in program history after competing against nine ranked teams and finishing ahead of No. 26 Illinois and No. 46 Denver. They also had two players inside the top 27 individuals and three players that placed in the top 32, as they were the only non-qualifying team to do so.

Mindy Herrick led all Ospreys throughout this tournament sharing 18th-place with a overall score of 7-over 223, which is the second-best individual placement from a UNF golfer at the NCAA Regionals. She records her seventh top-25 finish of the season and her 26th-career top-25 finish that tops the program's all-time mark.

Our 2021-22 campaign ends with a program-best eighth-place finish at the NCAA Tallahassee Regional.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us this season! Several notable marks and achievements were made during this historic year.
