KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C.---Junior Isabella Loza led the Chattanooga Mocs to a tie for eighth finish at the Palmetto Intercollegiate at Turtle Point Golf Course. Loza's three-day tally of 221 is a new career low besting her 223 in the 2013 SunTrust Gator Women's Golf Invitational.
“That's what she expects,” coach Colette Murray said. “It's what I expect. She's starting to come into her own. It's not any surprise.”
Loza shot consistent rounds of 74, 74 and 73 for her 5-over par score. She ended up tied for 12th.
The Mocs tied with Kansas State in eighth at 906. Their 305 today was two better than the Wildcats' 307. The duo finished one ahead of East Tennessee State (907) in 10th and six clear of Xavier in 11th at 912. Campbell was one ahead in seventh at 905.
Megan Woods and Cris Perez added 77s to the score, while Emily McLennan turned in a 78. Agathe Sauzon had the drop score with an 80. The freshman duo of Woods (228) and Perez (235) also had new season best totals.
Coastal Carolina was the wire-to-wire winner shooting 866. No. 25 GRU Augusta came in second at 878 with Furman one behind in third at 879. The Chanticleers' Lena Schaeffner claimed medalist honors at 4 under (212). Her final round 71 held off hard-charging runner-up Yupaporn Kawinpakorn of Kansas. The Jayhawk closed with a 68 to end up one off the pace at 3 under (213).
