MOREHEAD, Ky. —

The standings may read that the Morehead State Women’s Golf team finished the NCAA Lexington Regtional this week in 11th place of the 12 competing squads, but the scoreboard also reflects the best-ever 54-hole score for an Ohio Valley Conference team at a regional in league history.

The Eagles, competing in the program’s third-ever NCAA regional, navigated the Champions Course at Keene Trace with a three-day total of 888 (294-301-293). That topped MSU’s previous conference-best 896 set in the 2023 Westfield (Ind.) Regional.

Freshman Tavia Burgess, the OVC Freshman of the Year, nearly put herself in the top 10 individually, finally finishing in 13th. Her 13th place effort is the second-best ever finish for an OVC individual at a regional in league history. Burgess carded a 73 in round one but returned on Tuesday and Wednesday to shoot 1-under par 71s and finish at 215, also the second-best individual 54-hole score for an OVC player ever.

Junior Tuva Marie Isebakke, the OVC Player of the Year, fashioned rounds of 73-83-70–226 to take 46th. Senior Hanna Montgomery concluded in 51st at 73-76-78–227, while sophomore Isabella Wiley was next at 75-79-75–229 and 54th.

Junior Amelia Rae Greenlee rounded out the Eagle five also in 54th at 77-75-77–229.

MSU ranked fourth among the 12 teams in par-3 scoring average.

No. 3 Florida State won the regional at -15, followed by NCAA Championship qualifiers No. 34 Georgia Southern, No. 28 Kansas State, No. 9 Southern California and No. 22 Vanderbilt. TCU’s Sofia Barrosa Sa finished fourth and will advance as the top individual not on an advancing team.

The regional wrapped up MSU’s OVC Championship season under veteran head coach Stephanie Barker.
