Sarah Stillwell shot 85, freshman Gabby Rosales shot 86 and senior Surraya Minhas (three-time All-ASC) and freshman Katlynd Imbody each shot 89. As they have done in all their tournaments this spring, the Mountaineers showed that they are great finishers and again came home with a strong final round performance. With the pressure on, Schreiner shot the tournament’s low round of 334 to edge UT–Tyler by four for the team title. Stillwell finished runnerup at 160 and earned first team AllASC by shooting the tournament’s low round of 77 on the final day. She was first-team All-ASC last year by finishing fifth individually. Minhas rebounded with an 84, while Rosales shot a second 86 and Calderon shot 87 and Imbody 92.
Stillwell’s finish tied the school record for top finishers individual at the ASC Championships. It was Stillwell’s best collegiate round and couldn’t have come at a better time. Like last year, Calderon just missed first team All-ASC by one stroke and earned her second second-team All-ASC award by finishing sixth at 168. Rosales finished 11th and just missed second team All-ASC by one stroke. Unfortunately, she was assessed a two-stroke penalty during her final round of play and that cost her All-ASC honors. Minhas finished 12th and Imbody 22nd. “Anna (Macosko) and I are so proud of these ladies,” said Ron Macosko, SU athletic director and along with his wife, Anna, coach of the women’s and men’s golf teams. “It’s not just their scores, but what
impresses us is that they’ve bought into how to play the game. Their toughness showed on the final nine holes where the tournament was decided so they all deserve the success they’ve achieved. It’s also great to bring a championship back the Schreiner. The challenge to all of our teams is which team will bring the next championship back to SU and when? This is a true team win, and the team is much larger than the five players involved. It goes throughout the entire roster, includes the men’s team and spreads throughout our great campus. We couldn’t have had this success without the great teamwork of our entire campus community.” Ron and Anna Macosko were named ASC Coaches of the Year at the April championship tournament.
