HUNTSVILLE, Ala. - North Florida women's golf stayed the course through the final 18 holes to play to place third overall as a team at the ASUN Championship on Tuesday afternoon.
Freshman
One Kashima turned in an under-par final round to jump into the top five and earn ASUN All-Tournament honors. It's the nine consecutive season that an Osprey has made the All-Tournament team and the first time since 2019 that a true freshman from UNF has garnered such honors.
UNF has now placed among the top three teams in the conference tournament for the eighth time in the last nine seasons that the event has been played.
Casilda Allendesalazar joined Kashima inside the top 10 players, while
Christin Eisenbeiss also finished in the top 15 overall.
