STANFORD, Calif. – The University of Colorado women’s golf team trimmed seven strokes in Sunday’s final day of play at the Peg Bernard Invitational, jumping three spots to finish eighth.

In their first tournament of the spring, the No. 50 Buffaloes shot 35-over par 603 (305-298) at the par-71, 6,084-yard Stanford Golf Course. After the first 18 holes, the Buffs sat tied for 11th, but with nearly every individual showing improvement in the final 18, they cracked into the top 10.

“Today was definitely better,” CU head coach Anne Kelly said. “Just having a day on the golf course was beneficial. You could definitely see with Jenny (Coleman) her rhythm with her ball striking and short game was a whole lot better, and with Jamie (Oleksiew) as well.

Host and No. 9-ranked Stanford took the event’s title for the eighth time since its inception in 1995. The Cardinals’ scorecard of 2-over par 570 (287-283), was just one stroke shy of the tournament-record 569 they shot in 2013. No. 37 UC Davis remained in second with an 18-over par 586 (291-295). No. 47 UNLV burst into the third spot after finishing the first round in seventh. The Rebels shot 24-over par, 298-294—592. No. 28 California also made a jump into the top five. Cal moved up four spots to take fourth place with a 27-over par 595 (300-295). No. 16 Oregon rounded out the top five with a 28-over par 596 (296-300).
