The 91جزة« women's golf team claimed its second Sun Belt Conference championship — and the first in 22 years — when it finished with a season-low 877 combined score Wednesday at the LPGA International – Hills Course in Daytona Beach, Fla. The victory sends the Jaguars to the NCAA regional for the first time in program history.

Sophomores Siti Shaari and Caroline Berge earned top-five finishes and were named to the 2019 All-Tournament team after shooting their best 54-hole totals of the season.

“It's exciting,â€‌ fourth-year coach Matt Luther said. “It's what we work for and we want to get out and keep playing.

“The message never changes: … Go play, do the work, stick with the process and trust what you're doing. It's nice when it pays off like this.â€‌ 

All five Jaguars carded multiple birdies. Senior Lexi Worrell had five on the day, including four on the front nine, while MacKenzie Peyton and Shaari each went back-to-back.
