RICHMOND, Ky.—Morehead State women’s golf shot a round-best 300, equaling its second round score to finish with a 905 and cruise to a four-stroke victory at the EKU Lady Colonel Classic Sunday. Two Eagle golfers,

The Eagles shot a 305-300-300 over the three-round tournament. The two MSU 300s were second best rounds in the 17-team field and the third round score was enough to lift Morehead State past Memphis and Arkansas State, both of which were tied with MSU after the second round.

Kamelgarn, who was in 12th place entering Sunday’s final round, shot a 72 to rocket up to second place and finish with a 223 (75-76-72). Lausier, MSU’s leader after two rounds, tied for fourth overall, shooting a 225 (76-72-77). Her second round 72 matched Kamelgarn’s third round score, the second-best single rounds of the tournament.
Emma Jonsson was Morehead State’s third player in the top 20, finishing tied for 20th with a 230 (78-76-76).
Ashley Redmond carded a 235 (76-84-75) to tie for 33rd overall.
