GOODYEAR, Ariz. - The Western Washington University women's golf team finished in a tie for 9th place at the Mustang Intercollegiate played on the par 72 Palm Valley Golf Club. The two-day, 36-hole tournament was hosted by Western New Mexico University.

The Vikings, ranked No. 19 in the recent GolfStat Division II poll, turned in a second round score of 19-over-par 307, slipping from the 302 (+14) posted in Friday's first round. WWU finished in 2nd in place in each of its previous two tournaments.

"It was kind of a battle out there, and overall just wasn't our day," said head coach Bo Stephan. "We missed a lot of greens and didn't have many birdie attempts. We'll get a little rest now and work on some things and be ready for the GNAC Championships."

Senior Kristen Hansen (Spokane, WA/Mead) was the highest finishing WWU player turning in back-to-back rounds of 3-over-par 75. Sophomore Jenn Paul (Bellingham, WA) rebounded from a 6-over-par 78 in the first round to finish with a 1-over-73 in Saturday's second round.

Tarleton State won the team tournament title with a two-round total of 3-over-par 579, an 11-stroke advantage over 2nd-place Northeastern State.

The Vikings will take next week off to prepare for the April 18-19 at the Coeur d'Alene Resort in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
