Poor Start Dooms Comets at ASC

UTD Men, Yoder Rally In Final Day, But Too Late To Challenge

ANNA, TX - The UTD men's golf team and women's golfer Alicia Yoder all rebounded after a frustrating opening day at the American Southwest Conference Golf Championships on Tuesday, but neither was able to dig out of the hole they created a day earlier.

The UTD men finished in fourth place overall, knocking 11 strokes off the 314 they shot the first two rounds. The 931 total, however, still earned no better than a fourth place finish behind men's champion Mary Hardin-Baylor (885). Brian Vaughn (pictured) led the Comets with a 15th place finish at 230.

The tournament was equally as frustrating for UTD women's golfer Alicia Yoder (pictured), who was UTD's best hope for individual honors on the women's side after placing high in several spring tournaments. Yoder also bounced back with a 81 on Tuesday to finish at 173 and in 14th place individually, but a 92 in the first round Monday ended her chances to challenge in the medalist race. The UTD women's team finished last among the seven ASC women's teams competing.

The tournament was played at Hurricane Creek Country Club.
