LAKE MARY, Fla. – The Florida Atlantic University women's golf team earned second place at the Seminole State Spring Break tournament on Tuesday at the Timacuan Golf Course. The Owls had four individuals to place in the top-10 out of 46 individuals.

Coach Neff's Take

"Timacuan is a challenging course and the conditions were tough as well. It was good to see freshman, Rosa Barnak put together a nice round in today's conditions and finish fourth individually. We will keep improving like we have been all year and look forward to teeing it up in the Dominican next week."

QUICK HITS

The Owls earned second place out of eight teams in the tournament. As a group, FAU shot 625 (+49) for the event, scoring 313 on Tuesday and 312 on Wednesday
Freshman Rosa Barnak moved five spots up the leaderboard in the second round, carding a 74 on Tuesday for a fourth place finish. Overall, Barnak finished 10-over for the tournament after improving her score by six strokes from round one to two
Tai Barber came in right below Barnak in fifth place with an 80 on the second day, finishing 13-over for the tournament
Taylor Morgan tied for sixth place with a pair of 79's on both days. Amanda Leslie edged into the top 10, tying for ninth place with a 79 on day two. Arielle Keating tied for 11th place, carding 161 for the event

Up Next

The Owls will travel to the Dominican Republic to take on the field in the Tar Heel Classic. The tournament will be held at the Teeth of the Dog golf course, ranked No. 1 in the Caribbean and No. 27 in the world.

GOLF FORE AFRICA
All this season the Owls will be teaming up with Golf Fore Africa to raise money for clean water in rural Africa. The team's goal is to raise enough money to build a well for a village in Zambia, providing clean water for an entire community.

One well costs $15,000 to build and brings clean water to 300 people for life. Just a $50 donation brings clean water to one person for a lifetime. To date, Golf Fore Africa has built 160 wells and FAU is looking to be the first collegiate program to raise complete funding for a well.
