Statesboro, Ga. \u2013 Western Carolina senior Sadler Miller<\/a> paced the Catamounts scoring five as play concluded Tuesday at The Southern, hosted by Georgia Southern at the Forest Heights Country Club.

\nWhile Miller led the team in the final finishing order, it was a pair of newcomers to the roster that carded the best final rounds on a day where most of the scoring was elevated. Graduate transfer EC Niebauer<\/a> and sophomore Elsa Maren Steinarsd\u00f4ttir both posted final round scores of 79, finishing in a tie for 35th and 54th, respectively. Niebauer countered nine bogeys with a pair of birdies on Tuesday, while Steinarsd\u00f4ttir birdied the par-3 15th against a double-bogey and six bogeys.

\nNine of Miller’s team-best 10 birdies were charted in Monday’s first two rounds, shooting 8-over par 80 in the final round to finish the event with a three-round score of 230. Niebauer (t-35th, 232) was second with seven birdies, with Steinarsd\u00f4ttir recording four over the two days in southern Georgia.

\nRounding out WCU’s finishers was sophomore Annalee Caveney<\/a> in a tie for 66th with a score of 250 (81-85-84), and sophomore transfer Emily Rosenschein<\/a> in 70th (256).
