SUGAR GROVE, Ill. – Stroke play came to a dramatic ending for the No. 14 Kent State University women's golf team, but the Flashes secured the eighth seed in match play and will take on Northwestern in the quarterfinals Tuesday.
The Golden Flashes finished 54 holes of stroke play at 55-over par 919, with a score of 312 on the final day. With ninth-place North Carolina warming up on the driving range, Kent State needed a par from Michaela Finn on the par 5 18th hole to avoid a playoff. Finn nearly reached the green in three strokes, but landed her third shot in the bunker.
