Mufreesboro, Tenn. - Middle Tennessee head women's golf coach Kim St. John announced today that Tamara Munsch is transferring from Texas Tech to become a member of the 2001 Lady Raider golf team. Munsch, who will be a sophomore for the Lady Raiders, was the Red Raiders' No. 3 player as a freshman in 2000-01.

"I am elated to have a player of Tamara's ability joining our program," St. John said. "She will give us immediate experience and will be one of our top players."

As a freshman for the Red Raiders, Munsch competed in eight of 11 tournaments and had an 81.0 average. Her top finish was a tie for 22nd at the Alltel Huskers Invitational, while her low round was a 73.
