Babos Leads Women's Golf to Third Place Finish at SAC Championships

ETOWAH, NC -- Carson-Newman led wire-to-wire to win the 2009 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Women's Golf Championship, which conluded on Tuesday at the 5,852-yard, par-72 Etowah Valley Country Club. The Lady Eagles take the title in their first year fielding a team. Catawba finished third at the Championships and were led by first team All-SAC selection, Kelsey Babos (Uniontown, OH/Lake HS), who was runner-up at the tournament.
Carson-Newman was led by medalist Sarah Jane Sinard, who shot three consecutive rounds of 75 to finish with a 225 total. The score ties a SAC Tournament record. Sinard matches the 225 posted by Catawba's Paige Haverty in the 2006 SAC Championship. Babos finished two shots back and had a tournament low round of 73 in Monday’s second round.
Carson-Newman won the title by 15 shots over runner-up Wingate. Catawba finished third with 999. Babos earned all-tournament honors, along with Eileen Purpur (Boone, NC/Watauga HS). Purpus was seventh, shooting a pair of 80s, to make the second team.
