PALO ALTO, Calif. -- The University of Texas Women's Golf team finished 10th at the Stanford Pepsi Intercollegiate (Stanford Golf Course: Par 70, 5,853 yards) after shooting a final-round 295 (+15) on Sunday, Oct. 17 to bring their three-round total to 891 (+51). The Longhorns finished 39 strokes behind tournament-winner Arizona St., which tallied a 12-over-par 852. Senior Lisa Ferrero (Lodi, Calif.) totaled a seven-over-par 217 after shooting a final-round one-over-par 71, which was good enough to tie for 16th place. Anastasia Kostina of Washington St. took medalist honors with a five-under-par 205.
Ferrero, who returned to the course she grew up playing, followed two 73s with a 71 and moved up from 22nd place to 16th. Senior Perry Swenson (Charlotte, N.C.) started her weekend with an even-par 70 but followed that up with a 76 and a 77 to finish in a tie for 35th place at 13-over-par.
Junior Devan Andersen (Gaudalajara, Mexico) battled all weekend and ended up in a tie for 41st place at 14-over-par. She opened with an eight-over-par 78 on Friday, but bettered her score in the next two rounds, finishing with a one-over-par 71. Freshman Kelley Louth (Victoria, Texas) continued her consistent play with two 76s, one coming in the final round, and a 75 to finish at 17-over-par for the tournament. Sophomore Ashley Prust (Englewood, Colo.) finished her first tournament of the fall season at 31-over-par after shooting a final round 11-over-par 81.
"We have had a very productive fall season and I think it will definitely help us in the spring," explained Texas head coach Susan Watkins. "I think we are a dangerous team and once all of the players start clicking together, we should be able to put up some really low scores."
The Longhorns will now have a full month before competing in the Collegiate Matchplay Championship which is being played at Las Colinas Golf Club in Howey-in-the-Hills, Fla. from Sunday, Nov. 14 to Tuesday, Nov. 16.
