2020-21 Shocker Women's Golf

[1972Shocker]

The Lady Shocker golf team clearly needs some better weather to work on their games.

Finished dead last (15th) in their opening tournament, the Texas State Invitational, at 90-over par. OTOH, fellow AAC member Tulsa, won the Tournament at 5 under par.

The Shocker team consisted of 2 sophomores and 3 freshman. Clearly a team not ready for prime time.

Round 1 of the 2021 AAC Women's golf championship is in the books and as was pretty much expected the Lady Shockers are not a factor.

#31 UCF and Tulsa are tied for the lead at 5-over with #20 Houston close behind at 8-over.

The Shocks are in 9th place at 35-over 3 shots ahead of last place Cincinnati. Tulane is in 8th at 18-under.

Perhaps not a surprise the 2 northern most programs (Temple does not field a women's golf team) are trailing the field by a significant margin.

Both the Shocks and the Bearcats had only 1 of their 5 golfers shoot in the 70's. Cincy's number 1 player shot a 5-over 77 and Shocker senior, Michelle Ledermann, shot a 6-over 78 out of the #5 spot on the Shocker team.

The Shocks look to be in well over the heads as they now find themselves in 10th/last place in the AAC Championship at 71-over par. After leading Cincy the 3 shots after Round 1 the Shocks are now 9 shots behind Cincy after Round 2.

None of the Shockers shot a round in the 70's today. Their top 4 scores were all 9-over 81's with there throw away score an 11-over 83. On of the 4 players who shot 81 birdied 2 of her last 3 holes to get to 81.

Tulsa and ECU are tied for the lead at 18-over par with UCF 1 shot back and Houston 5 shots behind the leaders.

I reasonablg goal for the Shockers would be to try to keep the team score below 100-over par which will requre about a 20% improvement over their 1st two rounds.

Tulsa wins the 2021 AAC Women's golf championship at 24-over par 3 strokes ahead of pre-tournament favorite Houston.

The Shocks shot there best round of the tournament by a handful of strokes but they still finished last at 102-over par, a whopping 78 strokes behind Tulsa. The Shocks finished 18 strokes behind 9th place Cincy and 54 strokes behind 8th place Tulane.

Not sure if I should care or not but this is kind of embarrassing. I still say drop Women's golf and add sand volleyball. Serves the same purpose of meeting Title IX requirements and the D-1 required number of sports requirements and maybe provides a benefit to the volleyball program. Perhaps even saves a few bucks.
