THE LSC TOURNAMENT
 
UT Tyler put together a spirited run in the LSC Tournament, qualifying for medal match play for the first time as a program on their way to a share of third place.
 
Senior Martha Laremark bludgeoned the golf course for three rounds in the individual portion, finishing as runner up on the leaderboard and earning All-Tournament Team honors.
 
That run helped the Patriots finish second as a team, earning the #2 seed in medal match play. There they took on #3 seed West Texas A&M, but came up just one point short to share third place.
