October 08, 2019 | Women's Golf
Kim places ninth, Moritz leads team with final-round 77
STOW, Ohio -- The course get any easier for Tuesday's final round of the Preview at Silver Lake. In fact, it got harder.
The 2020 MAC Championships venue played to a stroke average 82.80 for the field Tuesday, the highest of any of the three rounds. For the week, the average score was 82.29 on what was, by far, the toughest setup the Ball State women's golf team has seen this fall.
Only four players in the field carded a better score for the day than Hadley Moritz who led the Cardinals with a 77 on Silver Lake's lightning-fast greens. Moritz helped Ball State hold on to third place, seven strokes behind tournament champion Eastern Michigan in the nine-team field. BSU's final-round score of 316 was second only to the Eagles' 312.
Liz Kim closed with a round of 79 to finish as the top Ball State golfer on the leaderboard in a tie for ninth. The junior has now finished inside the top 20 in each of the past three events. Manon Tounalom (T12) gave the Cardinals a second top-12 finisher.
Ball State's four fall results now include a win, two third-place finishes and a sixth place. The team has one fall tournament remaining, Louisville's Cardinal Cup set for Oct. 18-20 at the University of Louisville Golf Club.
