At the UMAC Championship, the LumberJills will have Donna Jackson, Bliss, and Thepmontry all compete as individuals. All three golfers have shot under 110 this season with Jackson the closest to break 100 when she shot a 101 at the Twins Port Collegiate. Bliss has been consistent in her freshman season with all six of her round just three strokes apart. Thepmontry has shown a huge improvement in her first season with the golf team. In her first round, she shot a 151 (+79) but carded a 109 (+38) last week.
