WACO, Texas - The Baylor women's golf team concludes the fall ranked 49th nationally and fifth in the Big 12 by Golfstat. The Bears claimed second-place finishes at the Ptarmigan Ram Classic and the Price's "Give `Em Five" Invitational.

Senior Allison Martin ranks third in the Big 12 and 62nd nationally followed by Freshman Hannah Burke at sixth in the Big 12 and 138th nationally.

Martin leads the Bears with a 73.86 stroke average tying for fifth at the Price's "Give Em Five" Invitational and claiming two additional top-ten finishes. Burke carries the team's second best stroke average with a 75.00 and a seventh place finish at the Ptarmigan Ram Classic.

"Allison's scoring average is awesome. Third in the conference and top 100 in the country is great to see, especially for her senior year. Hannah is also doing great. She is the best I have had for a freshman. It's great to think about the future of our program." Head Coach Sylvia Ferdon said.

Senior Anna Rehnholm finished with a 75.86 stroke average and helped lead the Bears to a second place finish at the Price's "Give Em Five" Invitational, tying for fifth.

"I see strength in our first three spots," Ferdon said. "I think they are the strongest they have ever been."

The Bears also competed at the Ron Moore Invitational finishing seventh, the Wolverine Invitational finishing eighth and the Derby Invitational finishing 12th.

The Bears have the rest of the fall off before returning to action at the Central District Invitational Feb. 19-20, 2007, in Parrish, Fla.
