OWENS CROSS ROADS, Ala. (April 15, 2025) – The University of North Alabama women's golf team wrapped up the 2024-25 season in Huntsville on Tuesday, completing the 2025 Atlantic Sun Conference Championship with an eighth-place finish at RTJ Hampton Cove.
UNA outlasted Queens, Jacksonville, West Georgia and Bellarmine on the final day, leading ninth place Queens by six strokes.
Today marked perhaps the final round of collegiate golf for seniors Hannah Dees and Jahnavi Prakhya, who both finished with winning records this season. Prakhya entered with a 76.3 stroke average over 27 rounds and placed 16th in the ASUN Championship at 13-over.

Prakhya started her final round on fire, recording four birdies on the first five holes. She finished her first nine holes at four-under before making the turn and finishing one-over for the final round. She had the seventh-most birdies in the tournament with nine.
Meanwhile, the future is bright with a handful of underclassmen, including a pair of true freshmen that competed in their first ASUN Championship — Sirichaya Chanpen and Elsa Maren Steinarsdottir.
Chanpen's postseason debut was solid, as she placed 23rd with a 16-over. She finished the tournament with 10 birdies — tied for the third-most in the field.
