Results
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. - It was a true team effort for Embry-Riddle Women's Golf as the Eagles ended the Flagler Fall Slam in sixth with 904 shots, just one back of Palm Beach Atlantic. That stroke total was tied for the program's second-best 54-hole score in its history.

Three members of the Blue and Gold posted top-20 results for the first time in their careers, including Eden Tsouklaris (T-11th), Stevie Albright (T-14th) and Ottavia Franzinelli Socini Guelfi (T-20th). Each of them recorded career-best three-round scores while Tsouklaris' total tied for the fifth-best by an Eagle in the history of the program.

"I'm super proud of our team effort at Marsh Creek this week," said Head Coach Maria Lopez. "Our intent was to go in there and show our depth. They truly did that on a championship golf course and with a championship field. There were so many personal records in front of friends and family. It was a great end to the fall to propel us for an amazing spring."
