While an 11th place finish would be disheartening to most, it was particularly disappointing for the golf team. After finishing in the top 10 in its last three tournaments, Rice was 11th out of 15 teams at the Carter Plantation Intercollegiate in Springfield, La., which concluded last Tuesday. Through three rounds of play the team shot a cumulative score of 943, 62 strokes behind victorious Middle Tennessee State University.After a two-week break, the Owls will look to right themselves at the North Carolina State Tournament, which runs from April 11-13 in Wallace, N.C. and will feature some of the Atlantic Coast Conference's toughest contenders. The team that will give Rice the most trouble will most likely be host NC State - the Wolfpack recently outperformed seven top 20 opponents to take the top spot at the Hootie @ Bulls Bay Invitational last Tuesday.

With a solid first round and an exemplary third round at last week's Border Olympics, the golf team was reminded why golf is a game of endurance and mental toughness. Despite a near free-fall in the middle of tournament play, the Owls rebounded to finish ninth in the 54-hole tournament, which was held at the Laredo Country Club in Laredo, Texas. The team will be back in action on Monday and Tuesday, taking part in the Carter Plantation Intercollegiate in Springfield, La. The 15-team tournament will feature a mixture of colleges from all across the southern part of the country, most notably Southeastern Conference powerhouses University of Mississippi and Mississippi State University, who are ranked 29th and 37th in the country, respectively. The toughest competition, however, will come from No. 13 University of Tennessee-Chattanooga, which boasts No. 37 Jonathan Hodge.
