BLUFFTON, S.C. – In the Flyers’ first spring event of the season, Dayton placed in third at the UD/Hilton Head Spring Invitational.

After having its practice round rained out and not seeing the course until tournament day, the Flyers shot higher scores than normal.

“With three and a half inches of rain and having our practice time rained out, scores were high across the board,” head coach Sally Kosters said. “Because it was our first outing, we had a lot of inconsistencies. We were constantly trying to shoot ourselves out of trouble.”

Dayton as a team shot a 360. Grace Nikolai led the way with an 88. Kelly Coakley and Heather Jorgensen each carded a 90.

Lucy Frey finished with a 92 and Maggie Prokop closed the team scoring with a 95.

Among Dayton’s individual players, Mary Katherine Slattery shot an 89 and Kelly Muskat fired a 97.

Appalachian State won the three-team tournament with a 326 team score. The Citadel’s Erica Pellegrini took medalist honors after shooting a 76.

Dayton returns to action March 25-26 at the Southern Illinois Saluki Invitational. The two-day tournament will be held in Carbondale, Ill.

“It’s not that unexpected to have high scores,” said Kosters. “We hope to have a better showing after a few more weeks of practice.”
