Gonzalez Has to Withdraw on Day Two; Lopers at UCM Monday
Kearney, Neb. – The 47th-ranked Nebraska Kearney women's golf team opened up the spring season by finishing runner up at the Hillcat Classic Tuesday in Owasso, Okla. The 10-team event was hosted by Rogers State at the par 72 Bailey Ranch G.C. (6,004 yards). The field consisted of schools from the MIAA, Great American Conf. (GAC), Great Lakes Valley Conf. (GLVC), Gulf South Conf. (GSC) and the NAIA. The Lopers had rounds of 328 and 305 (633) to trail only 37th-ranked RSU (308-301; 609). Missouri Western (634) was one of three teams between 634-637 strokes. Super senior Faviola Gonzalez (Cayey, P.R.) fired a 5-over par 77 on Monday to be in second place but had to withdraw on Tuesday due to injury. RSU thus had the top two finishers in Lydia Sitorus (150) and Raquel Flores (151). Colombian sophomore Juliana Botero Molina tied for fourth (154; 83-71) to lead UNK. She had 23 pars and was among the scoring leaders on both par 4 (+5) and par 5 (-1) holes. Next, Kansas junior Allison Comer came in 14th place (160; 85-75) with Kansas freshman Beth Grant tying for 18th (163; 84-79). They combined for 41 pars and four birdies. Finally, Arizona senior Paige Lucero tied for 24th (164; 84-80), Kansas sophomore Brooke King tied for 30th (168; 86-82) and Colombian redshirt freshman Sofia Laserna was 41st (172; 89-83). Laserna was playing as an individual with Lucero tied for field lead in par 3 scoring (even). UNK heads to Warrensburg, Mo., on Monday for the annual Midwest Intercollegiate.
