Logan’s Women’s Golf Team Takes 12th at NJCAA National Tournament

The John A. Logan College women’s golf team competed in the NJCAA National Tournament on May 13-15 in Daytona Beach, Florida. The Lady Vols shot a team score of 1,100 (386-351-363) to finish 12^th in the 15-team event. Redlands Community College won the crown with a score of 946.

Amie Koerner, a sophomore from Metropolis, Illinois, led Logan with a 54-hole total of 253 (89-79-85) and tied for 29^th place. Freshmen Jacki Jacobs and Carly Ball, both of Metropolis, shot 271 (99-84-88) and 285 (102-94-89), respectively, to finish 51^st and 68^th overall. Lindsey Hosick, a sophomore from Carmi, Illinois, posted a 291 (96-94-101) to tie for 75^th place.

“I think our nerves affected us on the first day of competition, and we didn’t play well,” said Bill Glenn, head coach of the Lady Vols. “But we overcame a slow start and our scores improved significantly in the second round. I thought we were capable of a top-10 finish, but we just had too many mistakes to accomplish that. It was a tough golf course and errors on a few holes cost us, but overall I think it was a good experience for the players and I was pleased with the effort.”
