OU Women Finish Second At Sewanee

Kite and March Earn All Tournament Honors

 The Oglethorpe Women's golf team was in action the first weekend in April at the University of the South's Sewanee Golf Club.  The Petrels finished second well behind #15 ranked Rhodes College's rounds of 336-334=670.  Oglethorpe's fired rounds of 393-387 for a two day total of 780 setting a new season tournament record besting their Jekyll Island Collegiate Classic score by 26 strokes.

 Junior Heather March 87-95=182 total was good for 5th place and freshman Leigh Kite carded rounds of 99-88=187 and finished 6th overall.  Both March and Kite were named to the All Tournament team.

 Senior Stephanie Peccia set her personal best single day college record with an opening 98 followed by a 107 for a two day total of 205 and third best on the team.  Freshman Jaclyn Crissey totals of 109 and 101 were good for 13th overall and fourth on the team.  Megan Elliot 119-113=222 finished 14th overall and senior Jennifer Brown 118-111=229 finished 15th overall. 

The Women's squad travels to Piedmont College on April 15th to the Orchard Golf Club for a final tune up before the SCAC Conference Championship at PineIsle Golf Course on Lake Lanier April 23-25.

DOUGLAS COUNTY DUO MAKE IMMEDIATE IMPACT AT OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY

 Kite leads women's golf team; Tulowitzky contributes immediately on court

 A pair of freshmen from Douglas County High School who enrolled at Oglethorpe less than four months ago have already made significant impacts on their respective teams at Oglethorpe.  Both athletes had impressive resumes during their careers at Douglas County.

Andrew Tulowitzky, who starred for Coach Joby Boydstone at Douglas County, was the 2003 Douglas County Male Basketball Player of the Year.  He was the Region 4-AAAA Player of the Year and named 2nd Team All-State.  Tulowitzky averaged 20.7 ppg, 6 rpg, and over 5 assists per contest for the Tigers.  He was a four year captain for Coach Boydstone, the first four year captain at Douglas County, and a rarity in high school athletics. 

Tulowitzky has started all six contests for the Stormy Petrels this season.  He is averaging 7 ppg, 5 rpg, 4 apg, and playing almost 34 minutes a game as a freshman.  He had a season high eleven points on November 24th at Shorter College in Rome, GA.  "His poise and intensity are two intangibles he brought with him from high school and put on display the very first practice," comments Head Coach Phil Ponder.  "He will be a viable candidate for Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) Rookie of the Year at the end of the season," adds Ponder.

Leigh Kite served as team captain for Coach Jill Bryson and was named All-County as both a junior and senior.  She was named Douglas County Female Golfer of the Year as a senior last year.  She led her team to State Tournament appearances for two consecutive years.  In October the Atlanta Junior Golf Association (AJGA) named her Sportswoman of the Year for its 2003 Season.  At the Grand Championship of the AJGA, Leigh was honored with the Sportsmanship Award for the girls 15-18 age group.  Kite has played the #1 spot for the Stormy Petrels women's golf team this fall and led the team in scoring average at 91.1, playing from the women's collegiate tee markers, usually over 5800 yards in length.

Kite was the medalist in both dual match victories for the Stormy Petrel women.  She finished tied for 18th at The Coosa Collegiate Invitational in October and finished 12th at the Berry/Shorter/Oglethorpe Triangular in September.  Head Coach Jim Owen describes Kite as "the foundation of the women's golf team.  She is the first piece of the puzzle for the future of the Oglethorpe women's golf program.  Our goal for her this year is to make second team All-SCAC on our home course at PineIsle on Lake Lanier this April at the SCAC Conference Championship.  That would be a good first step for the first year golf program."
