Bethune-Cookman Women’s Golf Prepares for SWAC Fall Tournament

Bethune-Cookman women’s golf closes its fall competition schedule Monday and Tuesday at the SWAC Fall Tournament in Birmingham, Alabama, heading to the RTJ Golf Trail at Oxmoor Valley for the final time before the spring campaign.

The Wildcats enter the tournament following a 12th-place finish at the Powercat Classic in Manhattan, Kansas. Senior Lathika Krishna led the program in Kansas by closing out the event with a 1-under 71 in the final round.

That final-round score marked one of the top individual rounds of the tournament and stood as the best single round for any Bethune-Cookman golfer since 2020. Krishna improved steadily across the three days after opening with an 84 and following it with a 74, finishing the event at 13-over par in a tie for 33rd overall.

Hannah Butzer contributed a 251 across rounds of 82, 83, and 86 to finish 62nd. Vivian Luu followed with a 258 on rounds of 85, 82, and 91 to place 65th.

Mia Bernier carded an 85, 91, and 91 to take 67th place. Sanai Lambert rounded out the active lineup with scores of 94, 90, and 88, finishing 68th playing as an individual.

Bethune-Cookman is one of five SWAC programs competing in Birmingham alongside Alabama State, Jackson State, Texas Southern, and Prairie View A&M. The program last participated in the SWAC Fall Tournament during the 2022-23 season, capturing first place out of four participating teams.

The Oxmoor Valley facility sits centrally in Alabama on former mining land owned by U.S. Steel just minutes from downtown Birmingham. Sculpted from Appalachian peaks and valleys, the course features scenic forests, creeks, and elevation changes.
