Aronsson leads Huskies in final competition of season
May 12, 2008
The UW women’s golf team wrapped up its season at the NCAA Central Regional Championships in Austin, Texas.
In the first round, the Huskies scored 24-over-par with 312, putting the team in 18th place, which is where they remained during the second round. Washington’s performance in the final round helped the team move up in the standings. The team shot 22-over-par with 310 in the final round finishing in 17th place with the total score of 68-over-par with 932.
“I thought they did a really good job,” coach Mary Lou Mulflur said of her team’s performance.
UCLA, the No. 1 seed in the Central Regional, won this year’s regional championship with a team score of 3-under-par with 861. Purdue finished in second place, shooting 7-over-par with 871, while the University of Denver came in third with a score of 18-over-par with 882.
Other teams to advance to the NCAA Championships were Texas Christian University, Texas A&M, Alabama, Texas and Louisiana State University.
Sophomore Molly Aronsson led the Huskies throughout the regionals. In each respective round, Aronsson shot a 3-over-par with 75, 4-over-par with 76 and 4-over-par with 76. Aronsson finished in a tie for 38th place overall with a score of 11-over-par with 227.
Aronsson’s performance was impressive, considering she suffered a knee injury before the tournament.
“I wasn’t sure if I would be able to go,” Aronsson said. “As soon as I played again, I felt great coming back.”
Freshman Karinn Dickinson scored a 15-over par with 231 to tie for 40th place.
Rounding out the team lineup were sophomore Christina Yoon, freshman Anya Alvarez and freshman Nicole Ferrero. Yoon finished with a score of 22-over-par with 238 in a tie for 77th place. Alvarez scored a 26-over-par with 242 to tie for 91st place while Ferrero finished in a tie for 98th place, shooting 31-over-par with 247.
The team got good experience competing in the regionals and learned what it takes to be successful, Mulflur said.
