04/09/06 6:20PM

HARRISONBURG, VA - Led by the signature performance of Erika Oldenkamp’s (Hinsdale, IL) young career, the William and Mary women’s golf team finished play Sunday at the Bonnie Hoover Invitational in fourth place, 12 strokes off the pace set by team champion Penn State. Georgetown’s Nicole Hayashi was the individual medalist, winning by a single stroke over Oldenkamp on the par 72, 6,046 yard course.

After turning in W&M’s lowest single-round score in 25 years (and tied for lowest ever) with her opening round 70, Oldenkamp came back to the pack Sunday, shooting 77 to finish the tournament in second-place with 147, tied for the best 36-hole score in school history. Her first-round 70 was also the lowest round of the tournament by a margin of three strokes. The Tribe had three other golfers in the top 25, as freshman Seung Lee (Kennett Square, PA) tied for 16th after shooting 79 on Sunday. Two strokes behind Lee was senior Sayde Murray (York, PA), tied for 20th at 159, and sophomore Misha Harvey (Forest, VA) finished with a round of 81 to tie for 23rd. Rounding out the team was sophomore Marissa Sprick (Windermere, FL), who improved three strokes between rounds and finished in a tie for 51st.

The Tribe aims for a regional qualifying berth next weekend at the Colonial Athletic Association championships, held this year at the Pinehurst Resort, course No. 6, April 14-16.
