Hall posted an 81, 80 and then carded an 86 in the final round for a score of 247 to finish in 17th place, 22 strokes behind the medalist. Megan Corbett (24th place, 253), Christina Koerper (32nd place, 268) and Maddy Martin (42nd place, 276) also competed for the Mount. The Mount posted a 333, 330 on Monday and then a 358 in the final round for a score of 1021.

last time out... Christina Koerper finished fourth to lead the Mount St. Mary's women's golf team to a fifth-place standing at the Monmouth Invitational on Mar. 28. Koerper registered a pair of 80's in the two-day event to finish in fourth place, seven strokes behind the medalist. Autumn Serruta (17th place, 173), Christina Hall (21st place, 179), Megan Corbett (24th place, 182) and Sarah Roe (27th place, 186) rounded out the Mount's five competitors.

next on the green... The Mount travels to the Northeast Conference Championships on Apr. 23-25 in ChampionsGate, Fla.

gone abroad... Junior Megan Corbett missed the fall season studying abroad in Ireland. The junior should make her return to the green at the Lonnie Barton Invitational, marking her first competition since finishing eighth at the Northeast Conference Championships last year.

a season to remember... Last season, Mount St. Mary's shattered its record books. Individually, six of the top-10 single-round scores, 10 new two-round scores and six of the top-10 three round scores came from the 2008-09 season. As a team, the squad posted seven of its top-10 single-round scores and four of its top-10 two-round scores last year. Sophomore Christina Hall became the first player since Shannon Prettyman in 2006 to earn medalist honors at the Kutztown Spring Invitational and the Mountaineers won its first event at Kutztown since 2006. Junior Megan Corbett became the first women's golfer in program history to finish in the top-10 at the NEC Championships with an eighth-place standing to earn a spot on the NEC All-Tournament team.

no more flags, give me top-10... After not having five players earn a flag at the NEC Championships in the first 12 years of the program, junior Megan Corbett became the first player in program history to finish in the top-10 with an eighth place standing at the NEC Championships. The junior, who was named to the NEC All-Tournament team, set a new program single-round record with a 71 in the second round, a two-round mark of 154 and a three-round standard of 237 on her way to the eighth place.

new to the mountain... Along with first-year head coach Scott Keller, freshmen Nicole Fazio, Abbey Fry and Sarah Roe join the team in 2009-10. In addition, senior Autumn Serruta rejoins the team after sitting out her sophomore and junior campaigns. Serruta competed on the Mountaineers women's golf team as a freshman.

keller takes over for keller... Scott Keller enters his first season at the Mount as the head coach of the women's golf team and replaces his brother, Colyn. Scott Keller assisted with both the men's and women's golf teams last season and has the co-owner of the Quail Valley Golf Course in Littlestown, Pa., for the last four years.
