Ellie Shirley rounded out the CSUN scoring, posting round of 87-84-86 to finish 113th at 41-over 257.

HEAD COACH MICHELLE WINKLER SAID
"Overall I'm happy we improved each day. We're so close to putting everything together, and I know we'll do well at William and Mary. This group is so focused on performing at the Big West Championship, so I know they will clean up the low-hanging fruit during these next two tournaments."

The Matadors will next compete at William & Mary's Kingsmill Intercollegiate, Mar. 25-26 at Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg, Va.
