Head Coach Tee Burton's lineup will be a familiar one for the Runnin' Bulldogs in Taylor Dodson, Pilar Morgan, Sarah Bertram, Julia Henderson and Mary Katherine Donovan as all five have played in multiple events so far this fall season.
Dodson will be teeing-off for Gardner-Webb in her fifth straight event so far this season, as the freshman is coming off a round of 81, +9, and a 17th-place finish at the one-day Patriot Intercollegiate/Conference Preview event on October 5th.
