Sugar Land, Texas – Lynn University's women's golf team from Boca Raton, Florida had a rip-roaring good time on Tuesday, shooting a tournament-low round of 294 to surpass Lamar and take top honours at the HBU Husky Invitational.  
Jessica Bradley, a final year student from North Devon, England,  separated herself from the field of 60 players to claim her seventh career tournament victory in the United States while tying two program records in the process.
Trailing by six shots at the start of the day, the Fighting Knights  posted their lowest round of the 54-hole event while second-round leaders Lamar shot their worst round.  
The combination of the two led to Lynn (899) winning by seven shots over Lamar (906).  Host Houston Baptist (919) made the move to third place, passing Sam Houston State (921) while McLennan CC (937) rested comfortably in fifth in a field of 11 teams.
Bradley shot an even par final round over the 6,084yd course at Riverbend Country Clubto finish with an even par 216 total (71-73-72), tying the Lynn program record held by team-mate Samantha Smolen. 
Jessica, from Bishops Nympton, North Devon, logged a tournament-best 42 pars, to go along with six birdies and six bogeys.  She won by six strokes, tying her own college record set last season by winning her third tournament of the year.
Smolen and Jenny Ayala finished fifth and sixth with aggregates of 225 and 226.  Smolen was tied for ninth with 35 pars and logged five birdies throughout the event for her fifth top-10 finish of the season.  Ayala started the day three-over par over the first two holes but battled back to shoot three-under over the course of the next 16 holes to close out the final day with a 72.  She was second in the field with nine birdies.
Samantha Barber posted the largest turnaround on the Lynn squad.  A freshman out of Cape Town, South Africa, she improved by nine shots from the previous round with a 75 on the final day.  Louise Manalo was fifth on the starting squad, shooting 242 in total.
As a team, Lynn claimed its third victory of the year and the 23rd under head coach Danny Randolph.
The Fighting Knights will ride the momentum of this victory to the Sunshine State Conference Championship, beginning Sunday, April 12, at the Red Tail Country Club in Orlando, Florida  Fans can keep up with the action live at LynnFightingKnights.com and receive in-tournament updates by following @Lynn_Knights on Twitter and Instagram.
