PRESTONSBURG, Ky. -- The women's golf program at Shawnee State got an outstanding effort from Shawnee State junior golfer Aly Wellman, who followed up a promising 86 with a second-day 81 -- the lowest round of her collegiate career -- to claim a second-place showing as a team at the UPike Fall Invitational, which was held at Stonecrest Golf Course in Prestonsburg, Ky. Tuesday evening.

In posting her stout round of 81, Wellman notched an eagle on the 12th hole, a 351-yard par five, in doing so -- posting a strong three-over 39 on the back nine holes to conclude her final round of action. Wellman, who shot a two-day 167, finished fifth overall in the 21-golfer field.

Wellman finished just six strokes back of the UPike Fall Invitational Tournament winner, Bluefield's Savannah Riley, and just four back of a runner-up position in the final rundown.

Wellman also posted seven pars throughout the final round of play on Tuesday on the following holes:

• Hole 4, 334-yard par four
• Hole 5, 116-yard par three
• Hole 6, 377-yard par four
• Hole 9, 369-yard par four
• Hole 11, 128-yard par three
• Hole 16, 278-yard par four
• Hole 17, 130-yard par three

Spencer, who finished 12th in the field, shot a solid 41 on the front nine holes. The sophomore posted pars on the following:

• Hole 1, 366-yard par four
• Hole 4, 334-yard par four

• Hole 7, 365-yard par five
• Hole 8, 161-yard par three

Baird, who finished right behind Spencer in 13th position, birdied back-to-back holes on the 11th hole, a 128-yard par three, and the 351-yard par five on hole No. 12 -- also shooting a rock solid 41 on the back nine.
