LOUISVILLE, Ky.—In its 2022-23 season debut, the Bellarmine women's golf team notched its highest finish as a Division 1 program when the Knights brought home the runner-up trophy at the Roseann Schwartz Invitational on Sept. 13.  
 
On Monday, they get their next chance to add to the team accomplishments when Bellarmine tees it up in the 22nd Annual F&M Bank APSU Intercollegiate in Clarksville, Tenn.
 
Hosted by new ASUN Conference member Austin Peay at the Clarksville Country Club, the 10-team event is scheduled for 54 holes with the first two rounds on Monday and a Tuesday finish. Although Bellarmine played in the event last year, it will be a new golf course for the Knights as last year's tourney was held at The Legacy Golf Club in Springfield, Tennessee.
 
Coach Art Henry will send out the same five players who competed in the season opener at Youngstown State. 
 
Alaina Schmitt, who finished seventh overall in the opener, will occupy the No. 1 position this week with Jessica Stephens lining up at the No. 2 slot. Stephens also registered a top 10 finish in the opener, closing with a 74 to finish tied for ninth.
 
Graduate transfer Elizabeth Duncan will play No. 3 this week with Matti Spalding and Caroline McCrorey rounding out the top five.
