CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - Redshirt sophomore Kendall Turner of the James Madison women's golf team picked up her fifth top-15 finish of the season on Tuesday afternoon, leading the way as the Dukes finished 11th at the Chattanooga Classic, hosted at the par-72, 6,234-yard Council Fire Golf Club.

The Dukes rebounded from a slow start to climb into 11th on a strong 20-team leaderboard, carding rounds of 311-297-300 to hold off 12th-place Wisconsin by a shot and Iowa and host Chattanooga by two shots each.

Turner racked up 12 birdies on the week, tied for third-most in the 105-player field, and fired a final-round 69 (-3) to vault herself into 12th place. She improved each day, carding 76-73-69 to finish at 218 (+2), just one shot outside the top 10.

Redshirt junior Kate Owens also rebounded across the final two days, carding rounds of 70 (-2) and 74 (+2) in the second and third rounds to climb into a tie for 36th at 224 (+8), while senior Carly Lyvers tied for 69th at 234 (74-81-79).

Sophomore Amelia Williams (81-77-78) and freshman Kayleigh Reinke (83-77-79) rounded out the JMU scoring in ties for 76th and 89th, respectively.
