Your Lady Knights ventured to San Diego, California for the Super San Diego Championship hosted by DII Point Loma Nazarene at Riverwalk GC.
Featuring 8 Top 32 DII schools this was one of the strongest tournaments of the year and a chance for the Lady Knights to compete against some of the Top Western teams.
Coach Belfield "Riverwalk is a great golf course with fast smooth greens. This should suit us perfectly seen as though Thorntree's are very similar! The Girls have had a great week of practice and are all feeling confident.....its going to be fun!!"
The Ladies started off in serene, if a little chilly condition which toughened up considerably towards the end of the round.
The Lady Knights posted a score of 336 led by Freshman Fariza Zain's 77, the Lady Knights struggled significantly in the wind and on the greens and placed 11th out of 21 teams.
Coach Belfield "Really disappointing round from the ladies because we seemed to lose confidence on the greens and our approach shots were not great. We managed to dig in though and post something of a score......needless to say, we are looking forward to fight back tomorrow!"
The second round started bright and early, the ladies in even more perfect conditions than Day 1 came out firing! They posted a much more solid and 'Knight like' 311 which was one behind the best score of the day.
Led again by Fariza Zain's 76, she was backed up by teammates Laura Deleonardis (77), Esther Kang (78) and Daniela Martinez (80).
Coach Belfield "This was more like it! The scary part is that we finished very poorly for this score. It again shows that when we play well we are as good as anybody in the nation. We ended up 5th in the tournament and we beat a number of Top ranked DII schools, which again shows our strength against anybody in the NCAA. I was really pleased to see Fariza play well and am looking forward to seeing her go much lower!
All in all, this was a great way to start the year!"
Led by Fariza Zain T4th with 77-76, Laura Deleonardis (15th 82-77), Daniela Martinez (T51st 90-80), Esther Kang (T56th 84-92) and Junior Carol Galindo (T62nd 87-85).
