JACKSON, MS- Fighting freezing conditions with high wind, the Majors Lauren Durbin shot an 81 and finished third at the weather shortened Jackson State Invite held at Dancing Rabbit Golf Club. 

Durbin' s 81 put her in a tie for third and the top Division-III golfer in the tournament. Durbin finished five shots back of a pair of IUPUI golfers and topped every Jackson State golfer in the tourney. 

The two-round tourney was shortened due to adverse conditions that saw freezing temps, rain and high wind. 

"Lauren always plays well in tough conditions," coach Brad Johnson said. "She always is able to step up her game regardless of the weather."

Mattie Schwall shot a 91, finishing in ninth place and giving the Majors two top-10 finishers. Mariah Stewart finished 13th, Ashley Cabeceiras 15th and Alaina Thurber 16th. 

"I think overall, we hit the ball well, especially given the conditions and this being out first tournament,"Johnson said. "We will learn from the few holes that gave us trouble and get better as the year continues."

The Majors are next in action on March 13-14 when they will play in the Jekyll Island Collegiate in Georgia.
