APSU Women’s Golf
Citrus Springs, FL – Austin Peay State University women’s golf team shaved 14 strokes from its Friday score but it wasn’t good enough to move the Lady Govs up the leaderboard during the final day of the EKU El Diablo Intercollegiate.
The Lady Govs shots a final round 317 after firing a 331 Friday. The Lady Govs finished at 961 in the three-day tourney to finish fifth, the same spot they began Saturday’s play. Eastern Kentucky won the event with a 931, defeating Florida Atlantic in a playoff.

However, sophomore Holly Batey was the Lady Govs most consistent performer during the tourney. She followed a 79 and 81 with an 80, Saturday, to finish at 240 and a 14th-place finish. Junior Ashley Averitt rounded out the team scores, shooting a final-day 87 for a 251.
The Lady Govs best performance, Saturday, came from an individual. Senior Catie Tucker recorded 78 to finish with a 244, tying her for 18th place, quite a comeback for the Ooltewah native who began the tourney with triple and double bogeys on her first two tourney holes.
APSU’s two other individuals, freshmen Rachel Deaton and Tala Mumford came in at 255 (88-82-85) and 263 (91-86-86), respectively.
