RICHMOND, Ky. - The Ohio University women's golf team combined to shoot 320 in the final round of the Eastern Kentucky Spring Invitational on Sunday, locking up a ninth-place finish with a team total of 956 (+92).

The performance marked the Bobcats' second-consecutive top-10 finish, as well as their fifth in eight tournaments this season.

Junior Colleen Lienesch (Centerville, Ohio) paced the Bobcats with a career-best 54-hole total of 236 (+20), good for a tie for 23rd place. She bettered her previous three-round best, set nearly a year ago, by nine strokes. The 23rd-place tie also stands as Lienesch's best performance this season.

Senior Lindsay Bergman (Blacklick, Ohio) finished in a tie for 30th place with a tally of 238 (+22), while freshman Megan Weaver (Canton, Ohio) tied for 42nd (241, +25) and sophomore Erin Cahill (Hilliard, Ohio) earned a share of 53rd place (243, +27). Sophomore Jordan Fesh (Toledo, Ohio) rounded out the Bobcats' lineup in a tie for 68th place (250, +34).

Ohio will undergo a final tuneup before the MAC Championships when it travels to Bowling Green Tuesday for the start of the Falcon Invitational.
