The San Diego State women's golf team edged California by one stroke for a second-place finish at the Bay Area Classic. The Aztecs fired a team score of 606, marking their lowest score at a 36-hole event in 1999-2000. The second-place finish is their season best.
The 11th-ranked Pepperdine Waves won the classic, held at the Blue Rock Springs Golf Course (5823 yards, Par 71) with a final score of 587. The two-day event was co-hosted by the University of San Francisco and California.
Aztecs' sophomore Heather Rollo entered the final 18-holes in second place and maintained her position by firing a two-over-par 73 for the day. Senior Jill Janotta fell three spots from yesterday, firing a five-over-par 76 for a tie at 10th place. In her first action of the season, junior Nikki Stangarone shot a final-round of 77, en route to a 17th place tie. Making the largest improvement in the final round was Joanne Clingan. Clingan recovered from an opening round of 82 to shoot a five-over-par 76. She moved up 21 places, finishing 26th. Jennifer Hoene rounded out SDSU's scoring, firing the team's second lowest score of the afternoon with a 75 (+4).
