HOME OF BULLDOG WOMEN'S GOLF

The University of Redlands women’s golf team placed fourth out of seven at the rain-shortened CSU San Marcos Invitational, held at the par-72, 5,816-yard Lake San Marcos Country Club in San Marcos on Sunday afternoon.

After rain cancelled Saturday’s rounds, the teams were limited to just 18 holes on Sunday.

The Bulldogs’ score of 367 sat well behind Western Washington University’s winning tally of 312. Redlands did, however, post the top mark among NCAA Division III programs, which included rival Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges.

Sophomore Tracy Saracino (Englewood, CO) carded an 85 and tied for 14th. Her score was tops among golfers on the bottom four squads.

With a score of 88, senior Staci Walsh (Shoreline, WA) placed 17th, while senior Paige VanArsdall (Lakewood, WA) and freshman Hayley Peterson (Gladstone, OR) followed, tying for 23rd (93) and 30th (101), respectively. Senior Remy Kawaguchi (Bellevue, WA) rounded out the Bulldog competitors with a 34th-place 108.

Katie Sharpe of Western Washington captured the individual title with a 5-over 77.

Redlands takes a weekend off from competition before it tunes up for a dual with Claremont-Mudd-Scripps on Friday, March 12, at 12 noon at the Empire Lakes Golf Club in Rancho Cucamonga.
