|
Continuing their extremely difficult schedule, the Cougar women's golf team competed in the Anteater Invitational at UC Irvine this week. The squad finished in 14th place, with Carly Ludwig tying for 33rd to lead the team. The three-round event featured a field of 15 teams, including Division I-A schools such as the University of Iowa and San Jose State, as well as others with strong programs. In fact, host school University of Irvine won the tournament, shooting a team score of +57 (909), 30 shots clear of second-place Sacramento State. The Cougars shot +165 (1017), four shots back of 13th-place Kennesaw State. A Cougar squad that consisted of Carly Ludwig, Jennell French, Christina Austin, Adriana Borman, and Ellyse Siu faced the difficult par-71 5,924-yard course at Dove Canyon Country Club. Ludwig fared the best, shooting rounds of 84, 81, and 80 for a total score of +32 (245). Finishing second on the squad was senior Jennell French, who tied for 58th. Like Ludwig, French steadily improved her score as the tournament went on, posting rounds of 85, 84, and 82. She shot +38 (251) overall. Austin wasn't far behind, placing 65th with a +43 (256). One shot back was Borman, who shot +44 (257). Rounding out the squad was Ellyse Siu, who was the team's top finisher at their last tournament. She shot a +52 (265) to take 76th place this week. Next up for the team is its final tournament before Regionals, the CSU Northridge Invitational on April 8th-10th. |
