EATONTON, Ga. – Georgia Southern women's golf senior Kaysie Harrelson made her season debut by recording her best career finish, a tie for fifth at the Lake Oconee Invitational at Great Waters Course on Reynolds Lake Sunday.
Playing as an individual this weekend in her first tournament of the campaign, Harrelson (+5) shot 73-70-78=221, and her second round 70 was the lowest of her career. She finished four strokes back of first and one ahead of seven players who tied for seventh.
Harrelson began yesterday's round on the back nine and parred her first three holes before making birdie at 13 and 15 to help her make the turn at 1-under. She added birdies on 2, 4 and 7 on the front to post the lowest score of the day by two strokes.
Georgia Southern finished 13th in the 14-team event, and Mia Kness tied for 36th.

Quotables from Coach Mimi Burke
"There is no doubt we had a rough start to the spring season, but one week does not define this team, especially after all of their accomplishments this fall. We have a lot of work to do between now and April, and we will be getting back to it this coming week. The goal is to get one percent better each day and get prepped for Jacksonville. We will be ready to redeem ourselves at the UNF Collegiate. GATA!"

The Eagles compete in the UNF Collegiate March 7-8 at the Jacksonville Golf and Country Club in Jacksonville, Florida.
