COLUMBUS — Last week saw another collection of events for Mississippi University for Women teams.
The women’s golf team sent a trio of teammates to compete at the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Women’s Golf Championships last week. The group featured freshman Reagan Hammack, sophomore Ashley Estabrook and junior Sara Grace Ramey. Ramey led the group with a score of 245, finishing in 18th among the field of 51 competitors.
Ramey’s performance earned her Owl of the Week honors at MUW.
MUW’s men’s golf team competed at the West Pines Collegiate tournament at Oglethorpe University last week, finishing third in the team standings.
Junior Luke Yocum posted another top-10 placement in the individual rankings with a seventh-place finish, posting rounds of 72-71-71 for a score of 214 in the 54-hole tournament.
Yocum was followed closely by senior Zach Riley, who posted a score of 216 to tie for 11th-place.
The Owls team finished behind hosts Oglethorpe and Lycoming College, two teams that finished in the top-10 at the NCAA Division III championships last season.
Elsewhere the Owls saw action in soccer and volleyball, but none of the three teams were able to bring home a win after difficult tests.
The men’s soccer team remained winless after a 5-1 loss to Belhaven and a 5-0 loss to Fontbonne, while the women’s soccer team lost 6-0 to Belhaven in their only action of the week.
In volleyball, the Owls traveled to play another conference tri-match. SLIAC opponents Webster swept the Owls on Friday while hosts Fontbonne and Spalding both registered 3-1 wins against the Owls on Saturday.
