JACKSONVILLE, FLA. – Three Pirates shot a 1-under-par, 71, in Tuesday's final round as the Seton Hall women's golf team finished second at the 2020 UNF Collegiate.

Seton Hall had the lowest round of the 16-team field on Tuesday, an even-par, 288, which helped it vault Sam Houston State to finish second. For the three-round event, the Pirates shot a 28-over-par, 300-304-288-892, improving 16 strokes on their final day. The Hall finished only four strokes behind the champion and host, North Florida. Among the talented teams Seton Hall finished ahead of included No. 67 Chattanooga, and BIG EAST foe Georgetown.

Kness finished four strokes behind the individual co-champions, CSU Fullerton's Brittany Shin and Delaware's Ariane Klotz.

It's the ninth top-10 finish of Kness' career, which is fifth-most in Seton Hall history.

Senior Carolina Ronchel Salas (Huelva, Spain) also shaved off six strokes in round three, and used four birdies to fire her 1-under-par, 71. For the tournament, she tied for 15^th place with a 9-over-par, 77-77-71-225.

Senior Sammie Staudt (Coatesville, Pa.) had a team-best five birdies in her final round for a 1-under-par, 71. She finished her round with back-to-back birdies. Overall, Staudt tied for 18^th place with a 10-over-par, 79-76-71-226.

Although she wasn't one of the three Pirates to shoot under par, senior Lizzie Win (Sylvania, Ohio) had a solid round with a 3-over-par, 75. She tied for eighth overall with a consistent 7-over-par, 74-74-75-223. It's Win's 17^th career top-10 finish which ties former Pirate Ali Kruse for the most in Seton Hall history.

THE COURSE:
Jacksonville Golf & Country Club's 18-hole championship golf course, with twin signature greens on holes 9 & 18 is one of the finest private country club course layouts in the state of Florida. Earning the title of 2019 Jax Best Golf Course, golfers from all over the world have fallen in love with its charm.

The pristine fairways and immaculately maintained course not only present the opportunity of great golf for players of all skill levels but also provide the centerpiece for one of North Florida's most preferred golf communities. Lying on the tropical North East Coast of Florida, Clyde Johnston and PGA TOUR Professional, Fuzzy Zoeller, designed our course as both challenging for the more experienced golfer, yet enjoyable for the mid to high handicap player.
