The fall semester is nearly over, and the St. Mary’s Women’s Golf team is shifting its focus to prepare for the spring season. Last month the team had many exciting developments including this year’s inaugural MSU Women’s Fall Invitational, the opening of a new Golf Performance Center in the Alumni Athletics and Convocation Center, and the naming of the Lone Star Conference Co-Golfer of the week. T he golf team concluded their fall season on a triumphant note at the inaugural MSU Women’s Fall Invitational, where they wrapped-up the game with a three-round total score of 879. The team has much to celebrate as they prepare for the upcoming season.
They are looking forward to exciting developments next season as the athletics department continues to grow. The golf team marked a significant milestone with the unveiling of the new Golf Performance Center in the Alumni Athletics and Convocation Center. The center is an 800-square-foot space, which features a cutting-edge golf simulator called a Foresight Sim-in-a-Box. It simulates range practice and course gameplay under almost any type of imaginable variables. The room includes improved lighting, new security and safety features. The room was formerly used for racquetball but has been transformed all because of a two-plus-year project for the golf athletics team. This development was possible due to the contributions from St. Mary’s alumni. Rich Dupre, a long-time supporter of St. Mary’s athletics, helped immensely in securing the necessary funding for this project according to St. Mary’s Athletics. The implementation of this center will positively impact the golf team’s future performance for next season.
The team had an outstanding individual achievement with Savannah Dupre being named the Lone Star Conference Co- Golfer of the week. In the MSU Women’s Fall Invitational, Dupre matched the St. Mary’s freshman record for the lowest round shot, contributing significantly to the team’s overall performance. These accomplishments signify the team’s dedication and hard work, setting the stage for an even more promising future. Reflecting on the season, Law student Rebecca Reed shared her thoughts, saying, “I mean, I feel like I’ve had some highs and I’ve had some lows, but every fall season is like that, I’m pretty happy with how it’s gone because in the past, I felt like the lows were really low. And so, I feel like I’ve been a little bit more consistent this season, which I appreciate.” With this landmark game so close to the season, many wonder what’s next for Women’s Golf this semester. Reed expressed her thoughts on what’s in store for the team, and stated: “I think our ultimate goal is to make it to the national tournament and everybody wants to win a national title.” Reed continued, “But the first goal is getting to the national tournament and then just kind of testing our luck from there.” It’s clear to see that the St. Mary’s University Women’s Golf team is heading into the spring season with the determination and foresight to continue their journey toward the national tournament and beyond while encouraging one another on their journey.
