DEBARY, FLA. – Freshman Amelie Gras (Elancourt, France) shot an 8-over-par, 224, to help lift the Seton Hall women's golf team to a third-place team finish at the 2025 Babs Steffens Invitational on Tuesday.
Gras was consistently terrific throughout the three-round event, using four birdies to fuel a team-best 2-over-par, 74, on Tuesday. For the tournament, she placed eighth among 86 individual golfers with a career-low 8-over-par, 76-74-74-224.
Queens-Charlotte's Jillian Fatkin won the individual title at 1-over-par.
As a team, the Pirates put forth their second strong performance to start the spring season. The highlight of the tournament was a second-round 6-over-par, 294. Coincidentally, the Pirates also shot a 6-over-par, 294, in the second round of their first tournament this spring, the Columbia Classic.
For the tournament, The Hall was 47-over-par with a 312-294-305-911, to place third in the field of 15 teams. Host Stetson won the team title at 12-over-par, while Jacksonville placed second at 29-over-par. Seton Hall's lone BIG EAST competition, St. John's, placed seventh at 77-over-par.
Despite a tough final round, sophomore Renee Rane (New Delhi, India) tied for 16th place overall. Her top round of the tournament was a 1-over-par, 73, in round two thanks to three birdies and 12 pars. For the three-round event, she was 14-over-par with a 78-73-79-230.
Ana Sarrias Pro (Cadiz, Spain) and Marta Aguilar (Casares Malaga, Spain) tied for 21st place at 16-over-par for the tournament. Sarrias Pro was mostly consistent with an 80-76-76-232, while Aguilar had a terrific second round with a 1-under-par, 71, but disappointed in rounds one and three. She tallied a 79-71-82-232.
Sophomore Kasumi Tran (Swansea, Wales) used a 4-over-par, 76, in round three to tie for 33rd overall. For the tournament, she was 20-over-par with a 79-81-76-236.
Competing as an individual, junior Anne-Sofie Ekman (Copenhagen, Denmark) finished her tournament with a 29-over-par, 77-82-86-245.

Tournament Info |
DeBary Golf & Country Club is Florida golf at its finest. Our challenging golf course was designed by Lloyd Clifton. Most holes are set away from the community by a buffer zone of dense woods and vegetation. With great course conditions, undulating fairways, and greens that roll true and fast, it's no wonder that DeBary Golf & Country Club is consistently chosen as a U.S. Open Qualifying site. DeBary is sure to offer you the premier golf experience you have been craving.
The National Audubon Society certified the course's natural habitat as a bird sanctuary. Water only comes into play on the freshly re-designed, risk-reward Par 5 11th hole and on the finishing two holes of each nine, where the 9th and 18th greens meet for a panoramic view from the elegant clubhouse. The course is complemented by complete practice facilities including a driving range, chipping green, and putting green.
THE FIELD:
In addition to Seton Hall and host Stetson, the field included 13 other schools: Albany, Bethune-Cookman, Bucknell, Chicago State, Jacksonville, Keiser University, Lehigh, LeMoyne, Palm Beach State, Seminole State, Troy and West Georgia. BIG EAST rival St. John's is also in the field.
THE FORMAT:
Teams played five golfers and count the four lowest scores per round.
UP NEXT:
Seton Hall will return to tournament action in two weeks when it heads to Vero Beach, Fla. For three rounds of golf at the Northern Kentucky Invitational.
