HUMBLE, Texas -- Freshman Mary Kerr carded her fourth par-or-better score of the season and Midwestern State matched the low score of the second round on the way to finishing eighth overall in The Southern Classic Monday at the Cypresswood Golf Club.

The Mustangs carded a 25-over 309 to place 10th on the team leader board in the opening round, then moved up two spots after matching Central Missouri with a second round low total of 293 (+9).

The tournament was shortened due to impending hazardous weather conditions moving through the Midwest portion of the country.

Kerr, who tied for 12th overall, carded four birdies in the second round to finish with a 1-under 70 after firing a 7-over 78 in the opening round. The Friendswood, Texas, native finished with a 6-over, 36-hole total of 148.

Senior Brecklyn Flanagan fired consecutive 75s to tie for 21st with an 8-over total of 150, while fellow senior Makenna Henry logged tallies of 76 and 75 to take 29th with a 9-over 151.

Junior Alli Reily bounced back from an opening round 80 to score a 2-over 73 in the second round to move into a tie for 37th with an 11-over total of 153.

Junior Kodi Nolen (80-76 156/+14) tied for 52nd, while sophomore Madison Wert (82-83 165/+23) tied for 74th competing as an individual only.

Dallas Baptist claimed the team title by firing totals of 288 and 298 for an 18-over 586. The Patriots were trailed by West Texas A&M (591/+23), Rogers State (593/+25), St. Mary's (593/+25), UT Tyler (595/+27), Central Missouri (596/+28), Henderson State (597/+29), and MSU.

UT Tyler's Arnie Taguines fired a 73 and 68 for a 1-under 141 to win individual medalist honors by a single stroke over Rogers State's Lydia Sitorus (69-73) and St. Mary's Savannah Dupre (73-69).

Midwestern State competes in the St. Mary's Rattler Invitational Monday and Tuesday at the Dominion Country Club in San Antonio.
