COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Tech women's golf team makes its first ever trip to the Spring Break Shootout, hosted by Both Western Kentucky and Southern Miss, down in the Tampa Bay, Fla. area on Monday and Tuesday.
SPRING BREAK SHOOTOUT: 54 holes (36 Monday, 18 Tuesday), located at par-72, 6,325-yard Lake Jovita Golf Club in Dade City, Fla. Teams will kick off with a 7:30 a.m. CT shotgun start on Monday and an 7:30 a.m. shotgun start on Tuesday.
GOLDEN EAGLE LINEUP: Competing for the Golden Eagles are junior Allyson Dunn, redshirt freshman Arianna Clemmer, senior Whitney Robertson, senior Lydia Triplett and sophomore Hollee Sadler.
THE COMPETITION: The 13-team field consists of hosts Southern Miss and Western Kentucky, as well as Albany, Boston College, Florida Gulf Coast, Fort Wayne, Georgia Southern, Jacksonville State, North Florida, Quinnipiac, St. Johns, Samford and Tennessee Tech.
THOUGHTS FROM COACH BROWN: "The women have been hard at work after Kiawah and are ready to get back after it in Tampa this upcoming week. We have been fortunate to have been able to spend some time down in Florida practicing in the days leading up the event. This has been very beneficial in our preparation, and we look forward to having a successful tourney before heading back home for the Bobby Nichols Intercollegiate."
WHAT TO WATCH FOR: The Golden Eagles will look for strong performances once again from both Allyson Dunn and Arianna Clemmer, who led the team at the Kiawah Island Classic. Dunn fired a 228 while Clemmer fell just one stroke shy of her career-low round with a 230.
