Gulf Shores, Ala. – The EKU women's golf team finished strong at the final round of the Bama Beach Bash this Tuesday.
 
Dili Sitanonth spearheaded the Colonels' efforts shooting a career-low 69 (-3) to finish in 12^th at 11-over for the tournament.
 
"We had a better round today as a team. We still have a lot to build on moving forward," said head coach Mandy Moore. "Dili and Karra finishing in the top 20 was great, and Dili did a great job coming back after a tough front nine yesterday to play her last 27 holes in 4 under par."
 
The performance saw the senior move up 17 positions on the final day thanks in part to the third-best scoring average on par-4s for the tournament.
 
As a team, the Colonels finished tied for sixth at 68-over, with their best round coming on the final day shooting 227 (+11) to finish the tournament.
 
Joining Sitanonth in the top 15 was freshman Karra Tucker at 12-over, including a first-round 72 (E).
 
Tucker dominated the par-5s with the fourth-best scoring average at the tournament at three-under.
 
Fellow freshman Imogen Jessen finished tied for 29^th at 20-over with Elizabeth Tucci finishing seven shots back of Jessen in 48^th as both posted their best rounds on Tuesday at five and six-over.
 
Finishing the team scoring was Claira Beth Ramsey ending tied for 55^th at 33-over, while individual Maddi-Jo Benton finished 51^st at 30-over.
 
The Colonels will next hit the course on March 24 at the Pinetree CC Women's Collegiate hosted by Kennesaw State.
