Reed Places Second; Rattlers Third at King Alfred Women's Golf Invitational

BULLARD, Texas – Posting the third-lowest 54-hole tournament total in school history, St. Mary's junior Rebecca Reed finished second at the King-Alfred Invitational on Tuesday.
 
The Rattlers went 2-1 in the match play tournament, including a victory over host UT Tyler in the final round to finish in third place. The three-round total of 891 is the second-lowest total this season and is the seventh-lowest in school history.
 
Reed turned in a 213 (74-69-70) and her second round of 69 is the lowest of the year for the Gold & Blue. Her 213 was good for a runner-up finish at the tournament and the third-lowest total in Rattlers history.
 
Senior Sofia Ruescas (San Sebastián de los Reyes, Spain) tied for 10th place after carding a 220 (74-73-73). It is the sixth time this season she's finished in the top 10.
