ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Colorado State battled throughout the final round and finished 16th at the Branch Law Firm/Dick McGuire Invitational, Sept. 13-14. The two-day, 54-hole tournament, hosted by University of New Mexico, is being played at UNM Championship Course (Par 72 – 6,317 yards) in Albuquerque, N.M.
Against a field that featured 11 teams represented in the NCAA Regionals last year, the Rams held it together as a team overall and shot a 12-over 300 to finish at 44-over 908. BYU shot the low round of the day with an 8-under 280 and took home the team title at 6-under 858, six shots ahead of runner-up San Jose State at even-par 864. Host New Mexico was third at 3-over 867, with San Diego State (872) and Pepperdine (874) completed the top-five teams.
"On the team front, it was not the outcome we had expected out of this group after our first couple weeks of practice," head coach Laura Cilek said. "The freshman looked a little nervous and seemed to settle into college golf as the tournament went on. This group knows we have work to do when we get back, and we are focused on coming out and competing better in Wisconsin."
Junior Andrea Bergsdottir was the top Ram in a tie for 21st at 3-over 219, following her second even-par 72 of the tournament. It was the sixth top-25 finish in her CSU career. Freshman Lacey Uchida was next in a tie for 43rd at 8-over 224 following a final round 2-over 74. Sophomore Panchalika Arphamongkol was next in a tie for 75th at 15-over 231, while freshman Pemika Arphamongkol placed 86th at 20-over 236. Freshman Romina Villanueva was the final scoring Ram at 25-over 241, finishing 90th. Playing as an individual, sophomore Sofia Torres was 82nd at 17-over 233. Pepperdine's Kaleiya Romero was the medalist after winning a playoff with BYU's Lila Galeai, as both finished at 10-under 206.
"Andrea had a great week," Cilek said. "Tying for 21st in this field was a great start to the season for her. She had worked incredibly hard this summer and over the first few weeks of practice. I can't wait to see her continue to battle at the top of the leaderboard this year.
"Lacey played very solid for her first tournament of her college career," Cilek concluded. "We are proud of the way she came out and competed from the very first tee shot until her last birdie of the tournament."
CSU returns to action quickly at the Badger Invitational, Sept. 19-21. The three-day, 54-hole tournament, hosted by the University of Wisconsin, will be played at University Ridge Golf Course in Madison, Wis.
