The Kansas women's golf team's hopes of finishing among the top teams at the Unlimited Potential/Bay Tree Classic were dashed after the first day of competition.
The Jayhawks managed to finish in the middle of the pack - 14th out of 31 teams at the season's first three-
round, par-72, 18 hole tournament.
coach tournament.
Coach Nicole
Hollingsworth
said she was impressed with her team's opening day efforts.
"This was an exciting first day for Kansas women's golf."
Kansas women's golf,
Hollinsworth said. "I am really pleased that three of our five golfers shot in the 70s. We played the front nine well, but really turned it in on the back nine."
While the Jayhawks may have shown some of their overall team potential during the first round, they also recorded impressive individual performances.
Senior Ashely Bishop led all Kansas golfers with a score of 233, including a
77 on the first day of competition when the 'Hawks were in sixth place. Bishop tied for 30th in the individual standings.
Sophomore Heather Rose finished with a score of 234 and placed 36th individually. Tiffany Kruggel, Sarah Mahoney and Crystal Thayer finished with scores of 243, 243, and 244.
"I am very pleased with our play for the first tournament of the year," Hollingsworth said. "We had a good tournament, and Ashely played good for us. I am even more happy for how she did."
Finishing 35 strokes behind tournament champion Kent State, the Jayhawks shot 310 in the final round after shooting 303 and 313 on Friday and Saturday.
Runner-up Penn State finished 8 strokes behind Kent State while Louisville, Florida International, and East Carolina rounded out the top five.
The top five individual players were Michelle Simpson of Florida International with 222; Jenny Gleason, UNC-Greensboro, and Jessica Kransy, East Carolina, each with 224; Jan Dowling, Kent State, 225, and Kathy Johnson, Jacksonville State, with 225.

Renata Nowacki never knew what hit her.
All Nowacki, a setter for the Mississippi volleyball team, had to do was look in the mirror and see the Nike swoosh tattooed across her forehead to inform her that she had just been belted in the face by an Amy Myatt kill.
It shouldn't have come as a shock to Nowacki. Myatt, a senior, has been blasting kills like nobody's business this fall. After smashing 66 in the first four matches of the season, which helped earn her MVP honors at the Purdue Mortar Board Premier Tournament two weeks ago in West Lafayette, Ind., she followed up with 79 kills in four matches at the Jayhawk Invitational this weekend and was an All-Tournament Team selection.
The big hits have come as no surprise to her.
"I knew I'd be getting more of the sets, and just being on the left side you typically get most of the sets," Myatt said. "I was ready for it. My shoulder's tired; it's ready for a little rest."
Her shoulder should be tired after all of that swinging, which she's done under heavy coverage.
"Once again, tonight you know their big blocker is camping out there on her and she gets 24 kills in 44 swings; great effort," said Kansas coach Rav Bechard.
Exceptional, considering the holes that had to be filled after losing the top two killers in Kansas history, Amanda Reves and Mary Beth Albrecht, to graduation.
Myatt and senior Nancy Bell stepped in to fill that void, along with freshman outside hitter Sarah Rome.
"She's had a lot to do, and some others have responded well, too," said Bechard. "But I think it has been Myatt and Bell who have really carried the load, and then we've had some balance from some other people."
That balance has Myatt convinced*that her team is ready for Big 12 Conference play, which begins at 7 p.m. Wednesday when Kansas takes on Colorado at Horejsi Family Athletic Center.
"I think with having such a successful preseason we're just going to have a lot of confidence going in, to play aggressively, and just get down to business." Myatt said.
It won't be business as usual for Myatt, though. She can expect to be marked heavily by her opponents' toughest blockers after having such a high level of early season success.
"She is, I think, one of the premier outside hitters going right now," Bechard said.
Myatt is a dangerous hitter, indeed, but so is her team. The Jayhawks have rolled to an 8-0 start, tied for the best in school history, and Myatt said there is more to come.
"We have a lot of potential." Myatt said. "We have some quality people, both on and off the court. I'm really excited for this year and the things to come."
