ROSEVILLE, Calif. - Two CSUN golfers finished in the top eight and the Matadors posted their best finish of the Spring Tuesday, taking sixth at the Sacramento State Invitational at Sierra View Country Club.
After posting team rounds of 306-308 over two rounds on Monday, CSUN shot a blistering 292 on Tuesday to move into sixth place ahead of Cal State Fullerton and CSU Bakersfield. The Matadors' final round score was their second-lowest over 20 rounds this season.
"Very proud of the effort by the whole team today, top to bottom," said CSUNÂ head coach Gina Umeck. "Progress is an accumulation of small steps, and we took an important one today. We set a goal for the day and reached it. We set individual goals and met them. Solid all the way around."
Alice Duan and Kayla Yn both finished in the top-eight in the 53-player field. Duan was CSUN's low finisher for the fifth time in seven tournaments this season as she placed fifth at two-over 218. The Matador sophomore had three birdies and 13 pars over the final round to finish at one-under 71 for the day and two-over for the tournament.
Duan led all players in the field in par three scoring and had the second-most pars of any player with 38.
Yn was three-under after nine holes before finishing the round at one-over 73. Yn, who had four birdies in the final round, wound up with rounds of 75-75-73 to finish in a tie for eighth at seven-over 223. By placing eighth, she matched her best finish of the season.
Brooke Hamilton carded her best round of the tournament Tuesday, finishing with a one-over 73 to move into a tie for 34th with teammate Shenna DeLeon at 18-over 234. Hamilton posted rounds of 79-82-73 while DeLeon finished with scores of 80-79-75.
Michelle Duan completed the Matador starting lineup as she finished 45th at 27-over 243 following rounds of 78-81-84. CSUN also had a pair of individuals competing as Ashley Phelps finished tied for 40th at 22-over 238 following rounds of 79-82-77 and Brianna Steger was one shot back in 43rd at 23-over 239 after posting scores of 82-79-78.
The Matadors are back on the course in six days as CSUNÂ takes on CSU Bakersfield in a dual match Mar. 26 at Bakersfield Country Club.
