Weekend golf, soccer, volleyball

UNT took a tough one on the chin in men's golf this weekend but still produced a nice result by finishing second in the William Tucker Intercollegiate in Albuquerque, N.M. UNT had a five-shot lead at one point but let it slip, as San Diego won by a stroke, 874-875.

UNT blew a manageable lead, but this is a program that was in shambles about 20 months ago, so second place is nothing to sneeze at, especially since UNT beat No. 1 Pepperdine by 11 stokes and No. 24 Baylor by 12. Carlos Ortiz tied for the individual title at 4-under 212. UNT has a first and a second in two fall events after Curtis Donahoe won the UT-Arlington/Waterchase Invitational in Fort Worth.

UNT's volleyball team has moved into first place in the Sun Belt Conference West Division (11-7, 3-1) after match victories against UL-Lafayette and UL-Monroe. Sarah Willey got her 1,000th career dig. Setter Kayla Saey posted her sixth double-double of the year with 40 assists and 10 digs against ULM. The junior moved into fourth place on the program’s career assists charts on Sunday, and now has exactly 2,000 career assists.


After some recent struggles, UNT has evened up its SBC record (2-2) in women's soccer with consecutive 4-0 victories against ULL and ULM. UNT is 7-5-1.
