SORRENTO, Fla. — Behind a school record-tying round, the WKU women’s golf team completed an impressive surge Tuesday to finish third at the MSU Spring Citrus Challenge.

The Lady Toppers fired an even-par 288 in the final round at the par-72, 5,929-yard RedTail Golf Course. That ties the best single round in school history, previously reached Sept. 14, 2014, at the Great Smokies Intercollegiate.

It was a remarkable turnaround for WKU, which finished the first day tied for ninth with a 315 total, moved up to seventh on day two by improving by 15 strokes to a 300, then knocked 12 more strokes off in the final round.
