(October 16) – The Saint Martin’s women’s golf team played two outstanding rounds of golf to finish second at the University of British Columbia Women’s Golf Invitational on Monday at the Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club. The six team tournament included NAIA defending National Champions Oklahoma City University, two Division I schools, Santa Clara University and Montana State University, host University of British Columbia and Victoria, B.C. At the end of day one the Saints found themselves in third place having shot 323; behind Oklahoma City (307) and British Columbia (321). Day two saw the Saints put together yet another great round to finish second in the tournament behind only Oklahoma City. The Saints finished with a two-day total of 640. OCU finished with a 610. UBC placed third at 643 while Santa Clara came in fourth shooting a team total 646. MSU shot 647 and Victoria shot 668 putting them in fifth and sixth respectively.

Lauren Roberts’ two day total of 170 put her tied for 28th and Alexi Coltom placed 33rd with a 178. “This was a tremendous accomplishment,” said head coach Bob Grisham. “We competed against high quality teams on a difficult course. To beat two DI schools shows how far the program has come in the last three years. The girls played outstanding.” The finish was the highest for the Saints this season.
