Golf: Program records fall as LWC women win Blue Raider Invite

The Lindsey Wilson women's golf team set multiple team program records and individual best on their way to a dominant win in their season-opening event at the Blue Raider Invite. Hannah Sumner won the individual title with a 6-under mark, finishing the tournament as the only golfer under-par.

Lindsey Wilson fired an 865 (287-288-290) to win the event at 13-over. The mark is a new program best scoring total for a three-round tournament which bests a 913 that was set at the same event last season. The Blue Raiders' first two rounds of 3-over and 7-over are the best scoring finishes for a team across an 18-hole round.
