Huskers Close Fall Campaign in Bahamas



The Nebraska women’s golf team plans to put the finishing touches on a valuable fall season when the Huskers travel to Nassau, Bahamas for the White Sands Intercollegiate (Oct. 22-24).

The three-day tournament at the Ocean Club Golf Course at Atlantis features seven teams, including Iowa, Campbell, Florida International, Mercer, Northern Illinois and the hosts from Miami along with the Huskers. The teams will take on a 6,415-yard, par-72 course at the Ocean Club over three rounds. Each day will begin with a shotgun start at 7 a.m. (CT).

Live scoring for the tournament will be provided by GolfStat.com.

Nebraska, which is one of four teams (Campbell, Mercer, Miami) in the White Sands Intercollegiate field that advanced to 2021 NCAA Regional play, is coming off its best tournament performance of the fall with a runner-up finish in a 13-team field at the Dale McNamara Invitational in Oklahoma (Oct. 11-12).

Nebraska’s final-round 284 (-4) was a season best and allowed the Huskers to close the 54-hole tournament at 872 (+8). Vanessa Bouvet led the Big Red with her third consecutive top-10 finish of the fall, tying for sixth at 215 (-1). 

Megan Whittaker added a career-best 215 (-1) of her own to match Bouvet in a tie for sixth individually. Senior Kirsten Baete also continued her strong play throughout the fall by tying for 14th at 219 (+3). Nebraska’s entire nine-player roster is traveling to the Bahamas, including a trio of golfers who have won individual titles this fall – Michaela Vavrova (Stampede at The Creek), Lindsey Thiele and Nicole Hansen (Marilynn Smith/Sunflower Invitational).
