ONEONTA, Ala. - The Samford women's golf team recorded its second-straight runner-up finish in a Southeast Regional competition Tuesday as the Bulldogs concluded the 2009 Samford Intercollegiate in second place at Limestone Springs Golf Course.

In its most recent competition, the USA Lady Jaguar Shootout held March 2-3 in Mobile, Ala., Samford also finished as the runner-up team in the tournament. So far this season, the Bulldogs have placed fifth or better in seven of their eight tournaments, including five-straight events.

Stanier topped Jacksonville State's Lucia Fernandez by two strokes to win the individual title.

Following Stanier's first-place finish, Samford's Maria Troche placed 12th with a final two-round score of 155 (77-78). The Bulldogs' Heather Arnold carded a 36-hole tally of 156 (76-80). She finished the tournament in a tie for 16th place.

Rounding out the Bulldogs' list of top performers was Sara Hunt (81-79--160), Sarah Butts (85-77--162) and Kellie O'Connell (80-82--162).

Jacksonville State fired a tournament-best round of 292 on Tuesday to take first place in the team event.
