TicketsKIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. – University of Cincinnati women's golf backed up Monday's season-best round of 293 with a 292 during Tuesday's third and final round at the College of Charleston Palmetto Intercollegiate to place eighth out of 22 teams.
In total for the day, the Bearcats buried 10 birdies and had a player shoot under par for the second-straight day at the challenging Turtle Point Golf Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort.
Senior Daniela Murcia (Bogotá, Colombia) finished strong with another round of 71 after shooting the same season-best score yesterday to finish in a team-best tie for 14th. Murcia, again, was strong on the front-nine holes Tuesday, going 2-under-par for the second-consecutive day with a trio of birdie scores.
Juniors Vanessa Manrique (Bogotá, Colombia) and Angela Lopez (Bogotá, Colombia) both rebounded today with multi-stroke improvements. Manrique improved on a second-round 78 with a plus-1 73, while Lopez recovered from a 77 on Monday with a score of 74 today. The pair combined for three birdies in a bounce-back round.
After carding a career-best 68 during Monday's second round, senior Alyssa Burritt (Bellbrook, Ohio/Bellbrook) shot a third-round 74 to finish the tournament in a tie for 23rd. Freshman Paighton Masterson (Avon Lake, Ohio/Avon Lake) wrapped play at the Palmetto Intercollegiate with a season-best three-round score 234.

// COACH CARL ON THE BEARCATS
"We saw a great effort by the entire team today. This team, hopefully, has grown in its belief that it can compete in fields like this one. We are proud of the entire team and the work they have put in leading into this event. We are really happy for Daniela and her second solid round under par and her top-15 finish. We are also happy for Alyssa for her solid round and top-25 finish. The girls made great decisions into greens today. While some know they left shots out there, they are moving in the right direction. We have two days off before leaving for the next event. We need to get back and tighten up some loose ends."
