ASHEVILLE, NC – Sarah Kahn finished in a tie for seventh overall as she helped lead the Panthers to a top-3 performance at the French Broad Invitational. The Panthers jumped into a tie for third place after round one and stayed there after all three rounds of play. The Panthers shot a final-round score of 308, while Kahn shot a round of 5-over 76 to lead the Panthers to their highest finish in the fall portion of their season.
Alexis Bennett: "Certainly a disappointing final round to an otherwise positive step forward. It was nice to feel the back 9 jitters but when you aren't making any birdies, you can't expect to walk away with a win. We have a lot of things to work on and clean up over this off-season but it was great for the entire team to see some action in the lineup and that experience will dividends this Spring when we look to get back to our style of play."
