MEMPHIS – Freshman Sydney Colwill posted a top 20 finish and the Memphis women's golf team finished 10^th in its first spring tournament at the Amelia Island Collegiate, Tuesday.

Senior Ashley Whisenant competed as an individual and carded a third round 76 to finish with a 228, which placed her tied for 34^th overall.

North Florida captured the team title with an 879, while Daytona State's Ji Sun Kang grabbed individual medalist honors with a 215. A pair of 68s in the first and second round allowed Kang to hang on to the lead despite a third round 79, Tuesday.

Memphis will next play at the 3M Augusta Invitational in Georgia, Mar. 11-13^th.
