GEORGETOWN – The 34th-ranked University of Texas at Tyler women's golf team turned in their best performance of the spring with a second place finish at the Southwestern Invitational at Berry Creek Country Club, firing a two-day score of 689 (345-344) to finish 12 strokes back of tournament host Southwestern.

Sophomore Jennifer King's two-day score of 167 (88-79) helped her finish third overall, while Callie Rice (8th), Katie Harris (9th) and Jordan Woodruff (15th) all finished in the Top 15. Harris' opening-round 84 and Rice's second-round 84 tied for the lowest rounds from UT Tyler on the weekend.

The Patriots trailed St. Mary's (Ind.) by six strokes after Day 1, but closed with a final round 344 to finish four strokes ahead to earn a second place finish overall – their second straight.

UT Tyler will enjoy a two-week break before its next tournament April 11-13 at the LeTourneau Spring Classic.
