Women's Golf Takes 19th at Aztec Fall Classic; Ludwig Top Finisher
October 17, 2006

Competing in a field that featured some NCAA Division-I squads, the CSUSM women's golf team struggled at the Aztec Fall Classic, finishing 19th out of 19 teams. Carly Ludwig was the top Cougar finisher, taking 86th.

Coming off a win in its first competition of the fall, Tuesday's finish was a bit of a letdown for the team. On the difficult par-72 6,259-yard course at Chula Vista Golf Club, no Cougar was able to break 80 during the two rounds of competition.

Carly Ludwig led the squad in both rounds, shooting 83 on Monday followed by an 81 on Tuesday. Jennell French followed up a first-round 88 with an 82, good for second on the Cougars and 105th overall. Behind her were Danielle Pearce (84-87), Adriana Bowman (85-86), and Ellyse Siu (91-86).

The University of Denver, whose squad posted an impressive two-day team score of 582, won the event. BYU finished seven shots back for second, and U.C. Irvine took third with a score of 596. CSUSM's final score was 675.
