The San Diego State women's golf team improved its first-round score by 15 strokes, but it was not enough to move up in the final team standings, as the Aztecs placed third at the La Quinta Inn & Suites Mountain Shootout Tuesday in Flagstaff, Ariz. SDSU logged a 313 in the second and final round to end its season-opening tournament at 65-over 641, 10 strokes behind first place Northern Arizona at the par-72, 6,426-yard Aspen Valley Golf Course.
Individually, the Aztecs had five golfers finish in the top 15, led by junior Jackie Kazarian's (Dana Point, Calif.) 13-over 157, which was good for third place. Kazarian was just one stroke out of second, but trailed medalist Sophia Choi of Northern Arizona, who posted a tournament-best 7-over 151, including a 75 in the final 18 holes.
SDSU senior Kim Carmody (Palatine, Ill.) slipped one place from third into a tie for fourth at 14-over 158, after firing an 80. Junior Maki Kamimura (West Covina, Calif.) and freshman Samantha Roberts (Carlsbad, Calif.), who both competed for the Aztec `A' or red squad, were just one stroke behind Carmody with matching efforts of 15-over 159. Sophomore Petra Cole (San Diego, Calif.) rounded out the school's top finishers with her 15th-place finish at 17-over 161.
The Aztecs' best performance of the day went to sophomore Ashley Wood (Lake Tahoe, Calif.), who posted a career-best 1-over 73, including a field-leading four birdies. Wood's 73 was a career best by eight strokes and 19 better than her day one score of 92. Wood's round tied as the lowest of the tournament and vaulted her from 40th into a tie with teammate Stephanie Arcala (Oceanside, Calif.) in 23rd place at 21-over 165.
The Aztecs take two weeks off before their next event, the Heather Farr Memorial Invitational, hosted by the University of Colorado, Oct. 1-2.
