BOULDER CITY, Nev. - Sophomore Kiran Sangha posted CSUN's best finish of the season Tuesday, finishing sixth at the conclusion of the Jackrabbit Invitational at Boulder Creek Golf Club.
Sangha, who opened the day tied for seventh, carded a final round four-over 76 to finish the tournament at 11-over 227 which was good for sixth in the 60-player field. Senior Brianna Steger narrowly missed her first top-20 finish of the season as she posted a final round 79 to finish tied for 23rd at (+20) 236.
As a team, the Matadors closed with a round of 316 to finish seventh in the 14-team field at (+83) 947. CSUN began the day tied for sixth but were passed by North Dakota State which finished four shots in front of the Matadors at 943. Tournament hosts South Dakota State (896) won the team title by 13 shots over second-place Boston College. Individually, Madeline Jin of Boston College (+1, 217) took home medalist honors by two shots over Sarah Bell of Oral Roberts (+3, 219).

HEAD COACH GINA UMECK SAID
"We're proud of Kiran's play today. She closed with two birdies which shows poise and determination. We aren't satisfied with the overall result and we have work to do. But looking forward to getting back at it in a couple weeks at William & Mary, playing the iconic Kingsmill Resort."
The Matadors next travel to the William & Mary Invitational (Mar. 30-31) in Williamsburg, Va.

CSUNÂ SCORES
- Sangha was CSUN's low player or tied for the teams' low round in all three rounds. The sophomore was six-over after 16 holes before making birdie on her final two holes of the day to get back to four-over for the day and 11-over 227 for the tournament. Her three-round total matches her low for 54 holes this season and her sixth-place finish is the best for a Matador player in five tournaments this year.
- Steger had a team-high four birdies in the final round but also had a pair of double bogeys on her way to a final round seven-over 79. Steger wound up with rounds of 77-80-79 to finish tied for 23rd at (+20) 236.
- Ashley Phelps had her best round of the tournament Tuesday, finishing with a five-over 77 to move up into 29th-place at (+23) 239.
- Julia Johansson finished in a tie for 54th at (+31) 247 following rounds of 78-85-84 and Grace Bettis was forced to withdraw in the final round due to injury.
