A tough course and a tougher field proved too much for women’s golf at the Texas A&M last week, as they finished last in the field of 11.

Sophomore Lana Hodge led the way for the Warhawks, being only two strokes behind the individual lead going into the final round. ULM finished the three-day tournament with a score of 953 shooting 89 over par. Auburn would  win the team tournament at four under par. 

Coach Heather Holte said that the course and competition were much tougher than what the team is used to.

“Across the board in women’s college golf, they are all physically talented, but I think the best players and the best teams have heart and fight and have good mental toughness,” Holte said. 

The Warhawks competed against three SEC teams and their conference opponent Troy. 

“This is definitely the toughest field and tournament that we have been at, if we don’t give up, any other tournament will seem easier. We need to get better at staying positive and not giving up,” junior Angela No said. 

ULM will play next in the 2014 Fred Marx Invitational on Sept. 22 and 23 at Bayou Desiard Country Club here in Monroe. Last year the Warhawks took home both the individual and team titles at their home tournament.
