Greenville, S.C. - The final round of the Lady Paladin Invitational at Furman University Golf Course was rained out on Sunday approximately halfway through the day's play, leaving the Stetson women's golf team to finish in fourth place with final results reverting to 36-hole standings.  Freshman Alex Buelow (Palm City, Fla.) tied for fourth place in her collegiate debut.

Sunday's inclement weather was doubly disappointing for the Hatters, who had rallied into second place and within three strokes of leader Nova Southeastern when play was called.  NSU, the defending NCAA Division II national champions, was declared the tournament champion at 35 over par.  Campbell (+39) and host Furman (+41) also finished ahead of Stetson (+42) with ETSU taking fifth at 44 over par.

Buelow shot 77-73 in the first two days and tied for fourth out of 94 golfers at six over par, three shots behind leaders Sandra Changkija.  Senior Danielle Jackson (Seminole, Fla.) tied for ninth at +9.

Stetson will return to action at the USF Waterlefe Invitational October 5-6 at Waterlefe GC in Bradenton, Fla.
