WILLIAMSBURG, VA - Freshman Misha Harvey (Forest, VA) sparkled by shooting a 75 (+3) to tie for 10th in her first collegiate tournament as William and Mary women’s golf competed at Appalachian State’s Draper Valley Invitational. The scheduled 36-hole event was shortened to one round due to rain as Murray State won the team title with 291 strokes, ahead of second-place Marshall (302). The Tribe shot a combined 315 over its first round to tie with Appalachian State for eighth. Murray State’s Santie Koch took individual medalist honors after carding a 4-under 68. Play was contested on the par 72, 5,910-yard Draper Valley Golf Club in Draper, VA.

Harvey’s impressive round of 75 tied her with three other golfers for 10th place in a strong debut for 2003’s Virginia high school state golf champion and winner of the VSGA’s Spencer-Wilkinson Award. More importantly, Harvey proved she can go low on the tougher collegiate course setups by firing a 34 on the front-nine.

Senior Alex Hill (Westlake, OH) carded a 79 (+7) in her opening round of the season to tie for 32nd. Freshman Erika Oldenkamp (Hinsdale, IL), who joins the Tribe as a conference and sectional high school champion and tested veteran of the junior golf ranks, also made a solid debut to her collegiate career, carding an 80 (+8) to tie for 38th. Sophomore Melissa DePuy (Esterd, FL) shot an 81 (+9) in her first round of the season to tie for 46th and freshman Marissa Sprick (Windemere, FL), another proven winner in the junior ranks, posted an 82 (+10) to tie for 51st.
