FROM THE 19TH HOLE

Eisenbeiss is back in the lineup for the White Sands Bahamas Invitational after missing the tournament at Old Dominion in early October. She has been the leader of this team so far with two top-10 finishes and a 71.50 scoring average.
Kashima has stepped up as a true freshman so far this season making the lineup for a fourth time with a 73.78 scoring average. She's the only other Osprey with a top-10 finish and has hit under par in two rounds, including 1-under 70 on opening day at the Evie Odom Invitational.
Cai is a senior veteran who continues to bring experience to the starting five this weekend. The Third Team All-ASUN selection looks to break into the top 25 for the first time this season in the Bahamas.
Allendesalazar has been a nice transfer addition for the Ospreys with the third-best scoring average on the team at 75.00. The Spanish product will join Cai in search of her first top-25 finish and first round under par this season.
Washburn rounds out the UNF lineup at the White Sands Bahamas Invitational to close out the fall. The redshirt junior hopes to break through as the fifth starter this weekend for the Ospreys.
Zhou has also been selected to be the unattached individual player for North Florida on the weekend in the Bahamas. She recently made her Osprey debut at the Evie Odom Invitational and looks to make more of an impact to end the fall on a high note.
