FROM THE 19TH HOLE

Christin Eisenbeiss had a fantastic fall campaign with top-20 finishes in all four events, including a medalist crown at the Lady Paladin hosted by Furman. The back-to-back All-ASUN selection also hit under par in five of the nine rounds played and has only placed outside the top 30 twice since the start of the 2021-22 season.
Daniela Gonzalez enters her final spring with the Ospreys as a graduate player with this being her fifth and final season on the team. No other player on the roster has been playing with the Ospreys for more than three years, as she is a former All-ASUN selection and two-time ASUN Golfer of the Week.
Wyndom Burnett came onto the scene early this past fall sharing sixth overall in her first collegiate tournament. The sophomore played in all four events and even won ASUN Golfer of the Week on her first try at the Badger Invitational.
Jessie Cai had a solid start to the 2022-23 season with two top-25 finishes and two rounds under par. She'll have her sights set on earning her first top-10 placement since the ASUN Championship in 2022, where she finished tied for 10th overall.
Sarah Scott will be playing in her first event of the 2022-23 season at the UCF Challenge this weekend. She last played in the UNF Collegiate last season as an individual and will be making her debut as a part of the team score.
