Head coach Brett Muller’s women’s squad got things started this spring at the Seminole State Spring Break Invite in Lake Mary, Fla., March 5-6. After a rough first day, the Bulldogs improved significantly and turned in a two-round score of 393-362–755. Freshman Kendra Placke led the way for Concordia with her 76 (+4) on day two representing the individual highlight of the event from a Bulldog perspective. The lineup also included junior Murphy Sears, freshman Britney Jepsen, junior Paighton Barbre and freshman DJ Bokelman.
Through 10 rounds in 2018-19, Concordia has produced an average round of 359.5 with a season low of 334 turned in at the first round of the GPAC championships. Each of the top 13 individual rounds put forward by the Bulldogs have come from either Placke or Sears. Both carded a three-over-par 75 on separate occasions back in the fall. In the GPAC standings, Concordia is currently sixth (334-338–672) as a team. Placke (75-78–153; T-4th) and Sears (83-75–158; 8th) both sit inside the top 10 on the conference individual leaderboard.
The field at the Concordia Invite will include runaway GPAC leader Morningside, which has five individuals all in the top 10 of the conference leaderboard. Laia Badosa is tied for first in the conference. As far as nonconference opposition on Thursday, Bellevue University’s program has a strong reputation. The Bruins are fresh off a tournament title at the Eagle Spring Golf Classic that saw them shoot a 319.
Current weather conditions call for temperatures in the low 50s with winds out of the north around 12 miles per hour at the time the tournament gets started on Thursday. Chance of precipitation is about 25 percent.
Following the Concordia Invite, the Bulldog women’s golf team is scheduled to return to action on April 11 with the Kaitlyn Erickson Invitational hosted by Doane at Wilderness Ridge Golf Club in Lincoln.
