BIRMINGHAM- The Millsaps Majors women's golf team battled adverse conditions of rain and win and finished in seventh place at the SAA championships hosted by Birmingham Southern.

"Im very glad that we were able to get the final round in," Coach Eddie Brescher said. "The bad weather held off and we were able to get everyone finished for the final round.  Our girls played solid for the final round and gave it all they had." 

Lauren Durbin led the squad with an 80 on Sunday and a tie for 10th overall. Lauren Barattini (pictured) shot an 88 to finish in a tie for 26th. Emma Lee Mikhalek finished in 35th after shooting a pair of 96s and Ashley Cabeceiras finished in 38th shooting an even 100 in each of the last two rounds. 

"We can take away a lot of positives from this week, "Brescher said.  "Barattini posted her career low round on day two with an 84.  Emma used this tournament to reduce her scoring average below her goal.  Ashley fought hard through an injury and posted some solid rounds for her teammates. Durbin made first team all conference and became the first Lady Major to do so.  So overall this week caps off a great step forward for our ladies team."

This season has been one of the most successful in Millsaps women's golf history. Coach Brescher and the squad are very excited and optimistic for 2013-14. 

"These girls worked so hard all season long and the numbers speak for their improvements.  I am very proud of all our girls and how great of a team we have now.  I am very excited to see what next season brings for our ladies as they will all be back for next year," Brescher said.
