To start the final round of the conference championship, Northeastern State University’s Sam Maceli was leading the field, but he wasn’t really thinking about golf.
With a one-stoke lead to start the day, but with the RiverHawks behind in the field, Maceli was one of the earlier tee-off times. During the round, she went about her business and posted her second straight 76 to sit one over for a three-day of 229.
