PC Women's Golf Team To Tee Off 2005-2006 Season

The Piedmont College women's golf team will open up the 2005 fall semester portion of its schedule on Tuesday when the Lady Lions host a team of Piedmont College Faculty/Staff/Administration in a nine-hole match at The Orchard Golf & Country Club. The team will officially kick-off the season this weekend (September 24-25) when the Lady Lions travel to Sewanee, TN to take part in the University of the South Fall Invitational.

This year's team is made up of six golfers with all but one entering their first year of collegiate golf. The squad's lone returner is junior Jennifer Hewett (pictured) who is a two-year letter-winner of the PC's women's golf program. The remaining five golfers make up Coach Lee Glenn's initial recruiting class and looks to be the foundation that the up-and-coming program will be built around.

Lynne Laseter (Morgan County) and Maleah Kelly (Rockdale County) each bring impressive resumes to the program as both won their respective GHSA Region title last spring leading their high school teams to the state tournament. Sandi Tatum (Lakes) comes to PC from Washington state while Jessica Van Dyke (North Forsyth) will be a dual-sport athlete as a member of the softball team. Rounding out the roster will be local product Kenslei Krippner who anchored the top spot at Habersham Central High School last season.

The Lady Lions will participate in three team rounds this fall ending with a five-team tournament at The Orchard with Methodist College, the University of the South, Georgia Southwestern, and Oglethorpe University on Tuesday, October 4th.
