Final Round Results

Sophomore Katelynn Mannix fired a final round score of 77 to win the individual championship at the Dartmouth Invitational which concluded this afternoon at the Hanover Country Club in Hanover, N.H. Mannix's performance catapulted the Siena women's golf team to a strong fourth place finish overall in the 17 team field.

Mannix, who was the overall individual champion in the Saints MAAC Championship victory to end last season, picked up right where she had left off in making it back-to-back wins in capturing her first regular season victory.

The Plattsburgh, N.Y. native paced the field with her two round score of 148, highlighted by an impressive first round score of 71. After finishing tied with Harvard's Christine Cho, Mannix defeated her on the first playoff hole to secure first place.

As a team, the Saints were consistently strong throughout, finishing with a team score of 633 after a final round total of 317. Harvard overcame a six stroke first day deficit to claim the team victory after surpassing host Dartmouth which finished second.

Fellow sophomore Catherine Shomo (157) placed fifteenth overall, while junior captain Bridget Carr (162) shot a final round score of 78. Freshmen Julie Juchno (166) and Rachel Aspero (216) rounded out the Siena contingent.

The Saints return to action next weekend for the start of the Princeton Invitational in Princeton, N.J.
