MELBOURNE, Fla. – The Florida Atlantic University women's golf team carded their lowest round on the Moon Golf Invitational's final day on Tuesday. In a 49-over par effort, the Owls finished 18th at the three-day, Louisville-hosted event.

Justine Fournand (T37) shot a 3-over par 219 to become FAU's top finisher. Her score included a dazzling 70 in Round Two, the lowest single-round output of any FAU player. Fournand, the reigning Conference USA Freshman of the Year, has now recorded FAU's lowest score in eight of her nine career matches.

FAU's final round was its best, as it posted a 298 - a four-stroke improvement over Round Two. The Owls improved mightily from Day One to Day Two as well, shaving 11 strokes off their Round One 313 in the second frame.

"This was a national championship caliber field," FAU coach Aimee Neff said. "Competing in tournaments like this helps expedite the learning process and shows us what we need to work on to get to the level we believe we can achieve at FAU. We improved each round and will keep getting better as the season goes on."

This tournament saw the Owls play two freshmen, Blanka Decker and Olivia Bergner, in their lineup. Decker became FAU's second-best finisher with an 11-over par 227, while Bergner carded a 78 and 80 in her final two rounds. The complete results for Decker and Bergner, along with the rest of the team, are below.
