Super senior Kate Smith returns for a fifth season to lead the Nebraska women's golf team in search of postseason competition in 2020-21. That hunt for the postseason begins today when Nebraska competes at the Trinity Forest Invitational in Dallas, Texas.
Smith, who earned the Big Ten's Mary Fossum Award after producing the conference's top stroke average (72.18) relative to par last season, has continued to improve her game despite the worldwide outbreak of the coronavirus in 2020. While the virus prevented Smith from taking part in NCAA Regional play as an individual last season, the stoppage allowed her and other seniors around the nation an additional year of eligibility.
