The Pittsburg State women’s golf team finished 10th at the MIAA Conference Preview on Tuesday Sep. 22 at Terradyne Country Club, while senior Kymbree Larance made program history with a top-10 finish.
Larance finished the 36-hole tournament at 3-over, placing her in the top 10 individually. Her performance marked the first time in program history that a Pittsburg State women’s golfer has finished inside the top 10 of a tournament.
The MIAA conference preview tournament serves as a great way to give golfers a look at a course they will be attempting to compete at later in the year.
The Gorillas finished the tournament at 30-over as a team, shooting a 17-over 305 in the opening round before improving to a 13-over 301 in the second round.
Abby Ervin was the second-highest finisher for Pittsburg State, finishing tied for 35th at 8-over. Elise Eckert finished tied for 41st at 9-over, while Charlotte Kerbs finished tied for 45th at 10-over. Mary Bina rounded out the Gorillas’ lineup, finishing tied for 79th at 22-over.
Southwestern Oklahoma State won the team tournament at 6-over, while SWOSU’s Daniela Espinoza won the individual title at 5-under.
For Larance, the tournament provided a milestone for Pittsburg State’s young women’s golf program, which began competition during the 2025-26 season.
The Gorillas will return to action Oct. 5-6 at the Grace Shin Invitational at the Golf Club of Edmond in Edmond, Oklahoma.
