Couer D'Alene, Idaho – The University of San Francisco women's golf team climbed two spots on the leaderboard and finished just outside of the top-10 on the final day of the Couer D'Alene Collegiate hosted by Gonzaga. The Dons finished 12th with a 38-over 890 (302-292-296).
Sophomore Pearl Rojanapeansatith was the spark for the Dons. The sophomore recorded her first collegiate top-20 finish when she climbed 13 spots on the leaderboard on the final day, finally resting at a tie for 13th with a 4-over 217 (74-72-71). The 217 is her best 54-hole score in her career, and her 71 is tied for her best 18-hole score of her career. Rojanapeansatith's strong round began after she recorded a double bogey on 14, the remainder of the round, she carded birdies on two, six and 12 to finish the round even par.
Finishing in second for the Dons was junior Samantha Gong who finished tied for 25th with a 6-over 219 (76-70-73). Gong birdied 15 and one, both par-5s. For the tournament she was fantastic on the long holes, going 3-under on par-5s with an average score of 4.75 which was tied for third-best in the tournament.
Joan Soewondo finished third for USF and was tied for 46th overall. She finished with a 10-over 223 (73-74-76). For the tournament, Soewondo finished with 38 pars which was tied for ninth most in the tournament.
Freshmen Annika Borrelli and Jade Siphomsay finished tied for 72nd and tied for 82nd overall. Borrelli finished 18-over 231 (79-76-76). While Siphomsay shot a 21-over 234 (80-76-78) for the tournament.
Illinois led wire-to-wire for the team championship, finishing even par 852. San Jose State's Abegail Arevalo was the individual champion with a 2-under 211 (72-71-68).
COACH'S QUOTE
"Though we did not have the result we wanted, we were excited to move two spots up the leaderboard in our final round," said head coach Sara Doell. "That is an improvement from our previous play where we have faltered in the final holes. Pearl birdied her last hole to shoot even par and complete one of her best collegiate tournaments to date. Solid performances from both Sam and Joan that leave me optimistic for what is to come. We plan to rest and recover before starting our preparations for the Edean Ihlanfeldt hosted by the University of Washington in two weeks."
