VALENCIA, Calif. - Senior Gracie Piar posted her fifth top 20 finish of the season, tying for 11th to lead the CSUN Women's Golf team to a sixth-place finish at the conclusion of the Bruin Wave Invitational on Tuesday at Valencia Country Club.
Piar, who opened the tournament with rounds of 71-74 on Monday, had five birdies in the final round. Four of her birdies came on a stretch of six holes (8-13) where she got her round as low as 2-under. Four pars and a bogey 5 at No. 17 dropped her to 1-under 71 on the day and even-par 216 for the event. Piar now has second, third, sixth, ninth, and 11th place finishes this season.
As a team, CSUN followed up scores of 296-302 over the first two rounds with a final round 13-over 301, which left the Matadors in sixth place in the 14-team field. Top-ranked Stanford claimed the team championship at 21-under 843, winning by 22 shots over second-place Pepperdine (+1, 865). Stanford's Paula Martin Sampedro (-7, 209) took home individual medalist honors by one shot over teammate Andrea Revuelta (-6, 210).
