SAMMAMISH, Wash. – On the third and final day of the Edean Ihlanfeldt Invitational, the University of San Francisco women's golf team slugged it out with the field and finished in the top-10. Following two days of competitive golf, the Dons finished the tournament eighth with a 51-over 915 (307-297-311) at the par-72 Sahalee Country Club.
As a team, USF managed to record 160 pars and 25 birdies for the event. Samantha Gong and Pearl Rojanapeansatith led the Dons with eight birdies apiece which was tied for eighth most in the tournament. Freshman Annika Borrelli led USF with 37 pars for the tournament.
Rojanapeansatith led the Dons for the second-consecutive tournament. The native of Bangkok, Thailand recorded her second-straight top-20 finish, capturing 12th with a 6-over 222 (75-74-73). Rojanapeansatith's 73 on Wednesday helped her climb six spots on the leaderboard.
Freshman Jade Siphomsay finished in second for the Dons. She carded a 78 on the day, giving her a 54-hole score of 14-over 230 (77-75-78) which was good enough for a tie at 34th, her best collegiate finish through four events. Gong finished just behind in a tie for 38th. She finished 9-over on the day to finish the tournament with a 16-over 232 (78-73-81).
Joan Soewondo finished tied with Gong at 38th. Soewondo finished the tournament with an 8-over 80 to finish 16-over 232 for the tournament. Borrelli finished in sole possession of 50th. She also finished with an 8-over 80 in the third round to finish the tournament with a 19-over 235 (78-77-80).
Tournament host Washington was the team champion. The Huskies were the only team to finish the tournament under par, going 5-under 859. The individual champion was Washington's Sarah Rhee who finished with an 8-under 208.
COACH'S QUOTE
"Despite great conditions and a beautiful day, the Dons struggled on the links," said head coach Sara Doell. "The highlight of our day was a strong performance by Pearl as she shot 73 following her best college performance from our last event to her second best college performance in this event. I'm really excited to see what else she can do. As a team, we discussed how we're struggling to finish golf tournaments as our third round tends to be our highest round of the tournament. We will head home and take a few days off on fall break and then get back to work before we head to UNLV on the 19th."

The Dons will have a week off and will return to the links on Sunday, Oct. 21 when they participate in the Las Vegas Collegiate Showdown at Boulder Creek Golf Club in Boulder City, Nev. This will be the final fall tournament of the season for the Dons.
