EAST LANSING, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University women's golf team kicks off its 2018 fall campaign, Sept. 15-16, when it travels to East Lansing, Mich. for the 35th Annual Mary Fossum Invitational. The course will be set up as a par-72, playing to the distance of 6,334 yards at the Forest Akers West Golf Course.
The tournament will also mark the debut of new Head Coach Stephanie Jennings. Jennings, who took over on Sept. 6, is a former EMU golfer and was most recently the assistant PGA professional at Meadowbrook Country Club. A native of Pemberville, Ohio, Jennings played in 82 rounds for the Eagles between 1996 and 2000.
The event marks the eighth-consecutive year that the Green and White has opened up its season in East Lansing and the 11th-straight year that the Eagles have competed in the invitational. EMU's best finish came just in 2016, when the team took seventh overall, shooting a 923 (310-305-308).
This year's 16-team field features some of the top programs in the country. Seven of the team's in the 2018 Fossum Invitational were a part of last year's NCAA Tournament (Michigan State, Florida, Georgia, Miami, Old Dominion, Texas Tech, Virginia) and four appear in the Golfweek preseason top 30 - Florida (12), Michigan State (18), Virginia (23) and Miami (26).
The complete field includes (final 2017-18 Golfstat ranking): Michigan State (13), Eastern Michigan (182), Florida (14), Georgia (33), Indiana (58), Kansas State (74), Mercer (78), Miami (38), Mississippi State (70), Northern Illinois (135), Old Dominion (60), Rutgers (118), Sacramento State (56), Texas Tech (50), Toledo (97) and Virginia (29).
Saturday's opening round is scheduled to begin at 8:30 a.m. and Sunday's final round will get underway at 9 a.m. Admission is free to spectators.
Scheduled to compete for the Green and White are junior Maria Connelly (Waterville, Ohio-Anthony Wayne), sophomore Preaw Sripatrprasite (Bangkok, Thailand), senior Penelope Guilleux (Saint Maur Des Fosse, France-Arsonval), junior Julia Stevenson (Milford, Mich.-Milford), and senior Kritsuda Apiwatthanadol (Bangkok, Thailand-Somtawin Witead Suska Huaymongkhon School).
