“I can't tell you how thrilled I am with today's results,” said Head Coach Colleen Cashman-McSween. “The most important part of the team win was that all five players contributed at least one very important round for the victory.”
For the second straight match, sophomore Annie Songeun Lee placed first overall with a 226
(76-75-75), playing consistently throughout the tournament. Junior Paige Fujihara followed with a third-place finish in the field consisting of 57 competitors. With a 228 (80-72-76), Fujihara’s second-round 72 marked a career-best performance.
Senior Yoorim Kang rounded out UAlbany’s top-10 finishers, tying for eighth with a 232 (76-81-85), while junior Nicolette Darois (81-79-87--247) and Rosie Hearns (85-83-81--249) placed 30th and 34th, respectively.
“The course was great but the greens were gigantic,” said Cashman-McSween. “I told the team from the start it was going to be a putting contest and ultimately we needed to eliminate the big numbers. We started off slow, but went two-under-par as a team on the first three holes of the back nine and it gave us confidence to finish it out.”
Heading into the final round two strokes back from first-place Sacred Heart, the Great Danes rallied to overcome the Pioneers (931), and also finished in front of Central Connecticut State (934), Quinnipiac (943), Monmouth (944), Hartford (955), Hofstra (962), Fairfield (998), Delaware State (1,000), Quinnipiac B (1,012), and St. Francis (1,082).
The Great Danes close out the 2015 fall season, competing at the Delaware Lady Blue Hen Invitational at Rehoboth Country Club, Oct. 24-25.
