Bucknell Women's Golf Sets School Record with 314 in Final Round, Takes Fifth at Big South Championship
April 12, 2006
McCALLA, Ala. -- Teri Schlang (Albany, N.Y./Stratton Mountain School) shot 77, the best of four Bucknell scores in the 70s, and the Bison finished the 2006 PUPS/PDPS Big South Championship in style with a school-record 314 on Wednesday at Bent Brook Golf Course. The Bison matched their best-ever finish at the event, finishing in fifth place. Remarkably, Bucknell's best-ever team total came despite not counting the score of its No. 1 player, Amy Loughney (Macungie, Pa./Allentown Central Catholic), who shot 80 on Wednesday after opening with a pair of 76s. Still, Loughney's 54-hole total of 232 was the best on the team, and she finished in a tie for 11th place individually. Deirdre Moran (Bryn Mawr, Pa./Academy of Notre Dame), Emily Chiodo (Strasburg, Pa./Lampeter-Strasburg) and Kathryn Batchelor (Trenton, N.J./Princeton Day School) all shot 79 for Bucknell, which finished 20 strokes clear of sixth-place Radford. Birmingham Southern shot 290 in the final round to hold off hard-charging Coastal Carolina for the team title. The Chanticleers finished with a 1-under par 287, but Birmingham Southern's 889 total was still good for a 16-stroke win over Coastal. Winthrop finished third at 907, followed by High Point at 930, Bucknell at 956, Radford at 976, Charleston Southern at 994 and Holy Cross at 1,065. Ann Maness of Coastal Carolina shot a 4-under 68 on Wednesday to come from six shots down at the start of the day and edge Winthrop's Erin White by one for the individual title. Schlang's 77 lofted her into a tie for 22nd place, while Moran, Chiodo and Batchelor took 29th, 30th and 31st, respectively. The Bison, who will return all five starters next season, set the previous school scoring record with an opening-round 315 at last year's Big South Championship.
