Didn’t see a thread for our men’s and women’s golf this year so thought I would start one. Men’s team has played in 6 tournaments so far this year and have been top 5 in each.

Spiders in 3rd, 13 strokes off the lead after day 1 of the inaugural A10 women’s golf tournament. Wonder how much nerves played a role with Spiders overwhelming preseason favorite and 2 freshmen playing in their first conference tournament as well. Hopefully we can cut the deficit tomorrow to within 5 strokes for the last day on Saturday.

my wife was is on a business trip and flew down with the team. she was able to wish them good luck as the clubs were retrieved.

 

[spiderstudent17]

Well we got it within 5 and move up in 2nd. Loyola is in first at +40, Spiders in second at +45, and Dayton in 3rd at +47. Should be an exciting finish tomorrow.

 

[SFspidur]

Lydic shot –1 today for the only round below par so far in the tournament. Unfortunately she was +9 yesterday, so she's currently in a three-way tie for 2nd, four strokes behind the leader out of Loyola. Wilkie is in 5th and Beasley is tied for 7th.

 

[Eight Legger]

St. Joe's women really crushing it at +249. Can they get to +375 by the end of the tourney??

 

[spiderstudent17]

Spiders win! Shot a +12 in the final round headed by Lydic who shot even par and had the best overall individual score of the tournament +8. Spiders total score was +57. Dayton finished 2nd at +65 and Loyolas 3rd at +78. Congrats ladies on winning the inaugural A10 women’s golf championship!

Congrats, one of the teams I gave to on Giving Day.

I believe that should earn the Spiders a trip to a regional in first round of NCAA. Not positive but I know when they won conference tournament a few years back they went to regional.

 

[SFspidur]

Yes, they get an auto bid to the regionals.

 

[SFspidur]

Oof, the Spider men seemed to cruising in the first round, sitting at –5 for quite a while and up by 2 or 3 strokes with a handful of holes left, but they faded badly in the final few holes and finished at +1 and currently in 5th place with Davidson leading at –4. Most teams are still out on the course finishing up.

Baez is currently atop the individual leaderboard at –4, with Ekert tied for 4th at –2. The trouble is further back with Piana shooting +4 on the front nine (Spiders started on the back nine) and Polin with a triple bogey on 9 to end his round and push him out of scoring position.

 

[spiderstudent17]

Not the best finish, but right where we want to be which is within striking distance. Right now only 5 strokes back from the leader with 2 days left. Goal tomorrow is to get within 3 strokes of the lead or even take the lead. We’re still in contention with a bunch of other teams so hopefully that helps alleviate some pressure of being at the top.

 

[SFspidur]

1st is right where I want to be.

GW stumbled right at the end, so we've moved up to 4th. None of the other teams behind are likely to close the gaps in their remaining holes today.

Davidson still has a couple guys out finishing up on the back nine, so we'll see if the 5-stroke deficit for the Spiders holds.

 

[SFspidur]

Davidson dropped a stroke to finish at –3, so we're only four strokes back heading into round two tomorrow.

 

[SFspidur]

LaPiana is the only Spider underway so far early this morning and birdied his first two holes to slice Davidson’s lead in half already.

 

[SFspidur]

Spiders have cooled off and are sitting in third at –1 overall, –2 on the day so far. Davidson putting the pressure on with an early –5 to move to –8 overall.

Individual leader Baez got off to a rough start with a pair of bogeys, but got one back at the 5th so he's currently in a 3-way tie for the lead at –3. Ekert is just a stroke back.

 

[SFspidur]

Spiders are surging again, littering birdies and even an eagle over the last few holes. They sit firmly in second at –7, eight strokes ahead of URI and just two back of Davidson. Spiders are a few holes ahead of most of the Davidson guys though, so the Wildcats have more opportunities to pick up strokes through the remainder of the day.

Isztwan is having a great round at –5 so far to move into a tie for third with Ekert and a few others. LaPiana also finished strong with –4 on the day. Baez is +2 on the day and has slipped to a tie for 8th, so he's not even contributing to today's team score.

 

[SFspidur]

Baez with an eagle on 15 to get back to even on the day and into the team score, pushing the Spiders into a tie for the lead at –9! Baez is also now back into a three-way tie for the overall individual lead at –4. Ekert and Isztwan a stroke back in a five-way tie for fourth.

 

[SFspidur]

Spiders are in the clubhouse and in the lead at –10 overall, two strokes ahead of Davidson which is imploding a bit with five bogeys over the final three holes from their two scoring guys who have completed their rounds. Two more Wildcats still finishing up.

Dayton is finishing strong to move guys into first and second on the individual leaderboard (still a few holes left for both of them), and we've got Baez and Ekert as part of a four-way tie for third at –4 with Isztwan another stroke back.

 

[SFspidur]

Wow, Davidson truly imploded over those final three holes, shooting +8 as a team. Spiders with a 5-stroke lead heading to the final day!

1. Richmond –10
2. Davidson –5
3. Dayton –3

Everybody else is at least +3.

 

[spiderstudent17]

I wonder if there was a weather element or something that factored into it because the Davidson team played a great front nine. We started in the earlier section today and finished in the first grouping. Still, have to play with confidence tomorrow! Spiders will be grouped with Davidson (5 strokes back) and Dayton (7 strokes back) so it’s anyone’s tournament.

The women’s team heading to Charlottesville Regional as the 11 seed (out of 12 teams).
