Stanhope Named RMAC Player of the Week

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Montana State Billings women’s golf freshman, Kalli Stanhope, earned Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Player of the Week honors for her efforts earlier this week as the Yellowjackets finished a historic Rocky Mountain College Invitational at Peter Yegen Golf Club in Billings. 

Stanhope helped lead the Yellowjackets to a record-breaking third place team finish out of 10 teams.  She finished the tournament third individually with a 228 score (77 – 76 – 75), three strokes off the lead.

The Glendive, Mont., native helped lead the Jackets to a team record-breaking performance as well.  For the tournament, MSUB set school records for round team score in each of the three rounds.  The Yellowjackets started with a 323 which was a school record and followed with a 317 in the second round and then eclipsed that with an impressive 312 in the final round.  In addition, a number of Yellowjackets went on for personal bests during the tournament.

The Yellowjackets have a one point lead in the RMAC Championship Standings over Fort Hays State.  MSUB has a first place and a second place finish for 17 point through two events, while FHSU has a third place and a first place finish for 16 points.

The Jackets and Rocky Mountain College are playing their annual match play event Friday and Saturday at Peter Yegen this week.
