EDMOND, Okla. – SWOSU Women's Golf wrapped up its season with a seventh-place finish at the NCAA Central Region Championships, competing against 18 qualifying teams from three conferences. While the team's season has ended, senior
Drew Dodgion's journey continues after she tied for fourth individually.
The top four teams and two individuals not on qualifying teams advanced to the NCAA Championships. Dodgion's performance allowed her to slide into one of those two individual spots.
The senior's strong opening round on Monday helped carry her. She shot a two-under 68, thanks to six birdies, and followed up with a collective +5 over her next two rounds to maintain solid positioning on the leaderboard throughout. She finished the tournament with nine birdies, tied for second-most in the field.
Freya Sala was two shots back of Dodgion, tying for ninth overall. Sala's best round came in Monday's second round, where she shot even par 70 with three of her five tournament birdies. She had success playing even, recording 39 pars through three rounds, tied for third-most among golfers. Sala also finished collective -4 on the nine par-5s she played.
Ashlyn Acosta edged Sala in birdies with six and had a strong showing in the second round with a 72, where she was even on the back nine. Her overall tournament score was +12.
London Wilson's 72 (+2) in the second round gave SWOSU a significant scoring boost. She sandwiched it between an 80 and 81, finishing +23 overall. Four of her five birdies came in round two.
Lucia Rivas rounded out the team with scores of 81-79-84.
SWOSU wraps up another successful season, highlighted by winning the Diffee Ford/Lincoln Invitational in March and qualifying for its 11th regional tournament in 12 seasons. Dodgion becomes the second Lady Bulldog to compete at nationals as an individual and will make her second national tournament appearance after the team advanced in 2024.
The national tournament will take place May 13-17 in Boulder City, Nevada, at Boulder Creek Golf Course.
