GREENVILLE, N.C. – Kendall Turner and Amelia Williams placed inside the top 10 to lead the James Madison women's golf team to a third-place showing at the Ironwood Invitational Tuesday afternoon.

Turner placed second with three consistent rounds of 73-73-71 to finish at one-over 217 on the par-72, 6,371-yard layout at the Ironwood Country Club. The second-place finish is her fifth top-five placing of the season and 19th top-10 finish of her career. She has finished inside the top 15 in all nine stroke play tournaments for JMU in 2023-24.

Williams also picked up her fourth top-10 finish of the season with a 54-hole tally of 220 (+4), placing sixth out of 90 players. The senior carded rounds of 74-71-75 in the two rounds.

As a team, JMU finished third overall out of 15 teams with an overall score of 896 (300-297-299). The third-place finish marked the fourth consecutive tournament the Dukes have placed inside the top three and fourth overall in 2023-24. Tournament hosts East Carolina took home the team title, as the Pirates used a final-round 291 (+3) to surpass Delaware for the top spot.
