Fifth win breaks UT record

After being away from the competition for a month, the University of Toledo women’s golf team participated in a two-day tournament hosted by the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. UT set a new school record, following a victory in the Kingsmill Intercollegiate on Tuesday, March 29.

With this title, UT notched its fifth win of the season, second consecutive, to set the school record for tournament wins in a single season. Toledo also set a 36-hole tournament record on the first day of the tournament finishing 24-over par 600.

Senior Sathika Ruenreong claimed the individual thonor, making it her third career title. Ruenreong finished the tournament one over par 217 just one stroke ahead of the second-place finisher.

The Rockets started to get things going on Monday, March 28, to land them a first-place finish after day one. Boston University sat in second place, five strokes behind Toledo and Delaware behind 13 strokes in third.

Ruenreong ended day one in second place at an even-par 144, just one stroke behind William and Mary’s Allessandra Liu.

Freshman Natcha Daengpiem and senior Manisa Isavas also finished in a top 10 position after the opening round. Daengpiem finished the day tied for fourth place at five-over par 149 while Isavas finished with a seventh place six-over par 150.

To start day two, the Rockets had their sights on another tournament title. Behind Ruenreongs’ title-winning performance was Liu, just one stroke under, ending two-over par 218.

Joining Ruenreong in the top five was Daengpiem with an eight-over par 224 showing. This earned her a season-best fifth-place finish.

Sophomore Napaphan Phongpaiboon was tied for 29th place going into day two but was later forced to withdraw.

Bringing up the rear for UT were Isavas, freshmen Caitriona Griffin and Pimchanok Kawil.

Isavas finished 15-over par 231 to end tied for 17th place. Griffin finished tied for 45th place at 25-over par 241 and Kawil ended tied for 59th place with a 27-over par 243 finish.
