April 16, 2008 Lacey, WA – In the recent announcement of the Golf World/National Golf Coaches Association Division II Coaches’ Poll Saint Martin’s women’s golf found themselves ranked 21st overall, within the same week the Saints were ranked sixth in the West Region poll. The Saints have wrapped up regular season play and now wait to hear if they have qualified for a regional berth. The top six teams in the region are selected to play at the NCAA DII West Regional Tournament which will be held in Goodyear, AZ May 5-7. “We had a good season,” said head coach Bob Grisham. “Their play has put them in a position to make regionals, now we just have to wait and see.” This year’s team clinched their first ever tournament victory with a win at the Notre Dame de Namur Invitational with a two-round total of 644, winning by 25 strokes. Babe Prante and Stacie Henden also earned co-medalist honors at the SMU Women’s Golf Tournament this fall. “Our goal at the beginning of the year was to be a team that competed for a regional berth,” added Grisham. “Seniors Babe and Stacie were consistent all year. I feel like they are a team that is very deserving.” The Saints now anticipate the release of the final polls of the season to come out in the next week and hope to find themselves still among the top six teams.
