ALAMOSA, Colo. – The University of Colorado Colorado Springs women's golf team finished the fall with the best round of the season and improved to fifth to close out the RMAC South event at Cattails Golf Course.
Forre Zook recorded her best performance of the season with a 13-over 157 and tied for No. 13.
UCCS went 28-over in the today's round in a nine-stroke improvement from yesterday. It was the eighth-best round in program history and the third-best in a fall season. Today was a one-stroke improvement off of the previous season-best of 29-over set in the second round last week at the West Texas A&M Invitational.
Zook shot a 7-over 79 today and was 1-over on the front nine to secure the third top-15 finish of her career. She finished with her best tournament score since the RMAC Championships last spring.
Alex Darwin turned in the best individual round for a Mountain Lion this season with a 2-over 74 and cut nine strokes off yesterday's score. It was the best fall round for a UCCS golfer in two seasons and it was enough to move her up 28 positions today into a tie for No. 17. Darwin finished at 15 strokes over par with a tournament score of 159.
Megan Vernon improved by four strokes today with a 9-over 81 and
Raquell Castillo closed out the team score with a 10-over 82.
Regina Dillon had the third-best tournament score on the team with an 18-over 162, but played as an individual and didn't factor into the team scoring.
UCCS finished two positions ahead of its performance at the RMAC North event earlier this season. The Mountain Lions finished four strokes ahead of Colorado Christian with 641 for 65 strokes above par.
UCCS will be off for the winter and be back on the course for competition March 20-21 at the California State-Monterey Bay Otter Invitational in Seaside, Calif.
