KENT, Ohio -- Twentieth-ranked Kent State will compete in its third and next-to-last event of the fall this weekend at the 12th annual Mercedes-Benz Women's Collegiate Championships in Knoxville, Tenn. The 18-team field features seven ranked squads that will be competing Oct. 10-12 at the par 72, 6,058-yard Fox Den Country Club.
The host Lady Volunteers and Flashes will be joined by No. 25 Arkansas, Central Florida, Chattanooga, No. 7 Denver, Furman, Indiana State, Kentucky, No. 18 LSU, No. 19 Louisville, Mississippi, No. 10 North Carolina, N.C. State, South Carolina, SMU, No. 24 Texas A & M and Tulane in the 54-hole event.
The Golden Flashes will be led by Kirby Dreher (Fort St. John, B.C.), who has four top 10 finishes in her last five events dating back to last season and stands 34th in the latest Golfweek/Sagarin rankings. Dreher finished 10th at the 2007 Mercedes-Benz, leading the Flashes to a fifth-place finish.
