Pothier shot a final-round 79 at the Fairfield Invitational last weekend to tie for the low round of the tournament and help her to finish in second place. This mark helped dig LIU out of a 13-stroke deficit to take the team title for the second year in a row. The runner-up finish was the third in Pothier’s career, and second this season. Last season, she also finished in second place at the Fairfield Invitational, behind teammate Natalie Desjardins. This year, she had a runner-up close at the Mount St. Mary's Invitational in the fall season. For the second week in a row, Kelly earns weekly honors after finishing in a tie for 14th at the Fairfield Men's Invitational. Kelly fired a 79 in the final round to improve on his first-day total by two strokes. The men's golf team will continue its season at the Towson Invitational in Towson, Md. on March 30-1. The women will travel to Farmville, Va. to compete in the Longwood Lancer Invitational on April 1-3.
