On the basis of strong and consistent play from each member of the team, William and Mary walked away with the second-place trophy from the W&M Invitational today. The University of Toledo took the team title with a 26-stroke lead over W&M, and also picked up each of the three individual trophies, as Kim Kester shot an even-par 72 to finish the tournament at 147, three strokes ahead of teammates Tammy Clelland and Joanna Periversoff. The Invitational was hosted this year by Ford’s Colony on the Marsh Hawk course, with measurements of 5,899 yards and 72 strokes to par.
Marissa Sprick (Windermere, FL) kept her place as the Tribe’s top golfer this weekend, tying the career-best round of 76 she had yesterday with another 76 today to finish in fifth place at +8 and lead the “Green” team of W&M to a seventh-place team finish, only two strokes out of sixth and 10 away from fifth. Sophomore Kara Siford (Manassas, VA) improved one shot in the second round to move up into a tie for 24th. Melissa DePuy (Naples, FL) had the team’s biggest improvement between rounds, cutting nine strokes off her total to jump up into a tie for 46th at 169. Senior Gwen Brink (Ponte Vedra Beach, FL) closed her final home tournament with a four-shot improvement in the second round, carding 85 to finish tied for 61st, one stroke ahead of classmate Pantipa Jinphiphadhana (Bangkok, Thailand), tied for 63 with 175 strokes. The team’s third senior, Maggie Johnson (Goshen, KY), joined Brink in recording a four-shot improvement in the second round to move up into a tie for 80th.
The “W&M” team that finished second was led in the second round by sophomore Erika Oldenkamp (Hinsdale, IL), who shot 76 today to ascend the individual standings and tie for sixth overall. Classmate Misha Harvey (Forest, VA) was one shot behind Oldenkamp in a tie for ninth, and senior Sayde Murray (York, PA) shot 80 in the round to finish in a tie for 17th at 158 strokes. Freshman Seung Lee (Kennett Square, PA) tied with Siford in 24th after shooting 81, and Ellie Costello (Wilmette, IL) improved three strokes in the round and moved up ten places to a tie for 46th with DePuy.
The Green and Gold’s next meet, and final tune-up before the Colonial Athletic Association Championships, will be in two weeks at James Madison’s Bonnie Hoover Invitational, April 8-9.
