Complete Results Day 1 Story
Yorba Linda, CA—The UC Riverside Women's Golf Team lowered its score in each subsequent round at The Gold Rush Presented by Farmer's Insurance, and saved the best round for last Tuesday jumping up three spots into a tie for third to conclude the event. The Highlanders total score of 913 tied them with Cal State Fullerton, placing them behind only host Long Beach State in second, and No. 47 Gonzaga in first.
The Highlanders were in seventh after their first round 317 on Monday, but used four scores in the 70's to jump up one spot following round two with a 301. In the third round, UCR improved by six more strokes for a 295—the second lowest score on the day, and UC Riverside's third-lowest score all year.
UC Riverside's third place finish is also its highest finish this spring.
Savannah Vilaubi led the way individually for UCR, finishing fourth out of 60 competitors with scores of 78-71-70 for a 219 total. Vilaubi was only four shots back of the winner, Gonzaga's Alice Kim, with a 215 three-round score.
The Highlanders had two more players break into the top-15 as Brittani Ferraro tied for 11th with rounds of 80-74-74 (228), and Yuri Ahn tied for 15th with 78-78-73 (229).
Haley Wian placed 33rd with 238 (82-78-78) while Isabelle Shee tied for 41st with 81-80-79 (240). Playing as an individual, Paris Griffith carded a 258 (86-88-84) to finish 59th.
The Highlanders will look to use this momentum heading into the Big West Conference Championship, slated for April 13-15 in San Luis Obispo, CA.
