Jonesborough, Tenn. – The Belmont women’s golf team posted their highest finish ever at the Atlantic Sun Championship and had the program’s first two All-Tournament honorees as the conference tournament wrapped up Wednesday afternoon at The Ridges Golf Club in Jonesborough, Tennessee.

On the best weather day of the tournament, the Bruins, who shot 316 in the final round, could not catch up to second place Campbell and finished third with a final team total of 942. It marked the best finish at the conference championship by Belmont since joining the league in 2001. ETSU captured their first conference crown by shooting a 306 on Wednesday to finish at 903. Campbell placed second, posting a 54-hole total of 928.

Individually, two Bruins earned All-Tournament honors by placing in the top-five. Junior Lorie Warren finished tied for second with a 54-hole total of 227 (+11) after posting an 80 on Wednesday. She missed a birdie putt on the 18th hole that would have forced a playoff to determine the individual champion. It was the highest finish ever by a Belmont golfer in the conference championship. Senior Rebekah Wilson closed out her Belmont career in style as she posted a one-over par 73 to finish tied for fifth with a total score of 229. They become the first two All-A-Sun Tournament honorees in the program’s history. The individual medalist for the championship was Laura Jansone of ETSU, who finished at 226.

The three other Belmont golfers all finished among the top-25. Freshman Lauren Spurlock finished in a tie for 15th at 244, while juniors Lauren Oeser and Ashleigh Garman tied for 22nd at 247.
