LEXINGTON, Ky. ? The University of Kentucky women?s golf team will return to action Feb. 5-6, in the Baja Invitational in Ensenada, Mexico, hosted by Southern Miss and Northern Illinois. Kentucky will make its first appearance in the spring season, as the team has not played since the end of October.

Kentucky was last in action in the Ross Resorts Invitational, Oct. 30-31. The team used a fantastic third round to push into the top-10, placing ninth, to conclude their fall season with their best outing.

The Blue and White carded the fourth best final round on the third and final day (306), as only Rollins, Princeton and Xavier had better team scores than the Cats. Rollins and Princeton finished first and second for the tournament respectively.

Trailing Richmond by three strokes heading into the final round, Kentucky?s four golfers all shot 80 or below to finish ninth. Senior Katie Johnson led the Wildcats with a stellar final round two-over-par 73. It was Johnson?s best round of the fall season, and the first time the Lexington native led the team in scoring. Johnson finished tied for 22nd with a three-round total 234 (+18).

Junior Beth Felts used a torrid comeback, carding a 75 in the tournament?s final round to conclude the tournament tied for 29th. Senior Marissa Muir also had a good tournament, finishing tied for 31st after shooting a 237, just one stroke off of Felts? total. Rounding out the scoring for the Lady Cats was freshman Erica Still who tied for 38th with a three-round total of 240.

Junior Elizabeth Dotson is set to make her debut at the Baja Invitational. Dotson, who has been sidelined with a knee injury, is expected to make an immediate-positive impact for UK. In her sophomore campaign, she finished with the team?s second-best per-stroke average for the second consecutive season, shooting an average of 77.48.

The Baja Invitational is being played at the Bajamar Resort. Complete results and a recap of the two-day event will be available at ukathletics.com.
