The weather was perfect -- low 70s with a slight wind and
Middlebury's Courtney Mazzei was almost better as she fashioned a
one over par 72 at Taconic Golf Club to lead Middlebury to its
first NESCAC Tournament title. "It was quite frankly the best round
of golf I've seen by a woman this year," said Eph co-head coach
Kris Herman.
Williams had won the two previous NESCAC Tournament titles
contested.
In NESCAC scoring the Middlebury Panthers were first, Williams
second, Amherst third and Bates came in fourth.
The Panthers also walked away with the Williams Fall Classic title
over a red hot St. Lawrence team that was fifth after day one but
finished second. Host Williams and Mt. Holyoke tied for third and
Amherst came in fifth.
After day one of the Williams Fall Classic Williams and Middlebury
were tied for first at 325, followed by Amherst (326), Mount
Holyoke (327) and St. Lawrence at 330.
Only Middlebury and St. Lawrence were able to shoot better on
Sunday than on Saturday. Middlebury broke its tie with host
Williams by lowering their team score by eight shots. Joining
Mazzei on improving from Saturday to Sunday were Julie Ellenberger
whose 83 was three shots better than the day before and Flora Weeks
who lowered her opening round of 82 to 80.
St. Lawrence got a great boost from Lindsay Cone who sliced eight
shots off her Saturday round and fired a 75. Overall St. Lawrence
improved by six shots in 24 hours, tallying a 324 today.
Mazzei completed a personal double, as she was the medalist in both
the Williams Fall Classic and the NESAC Tournament. Mazzei shot a
149 for the two-day Fall Classic honor.
Mount Holyoke's Zahra Aliza Hanif shot a 78 on each round and
finished second in individual play with a 156.
Only Sunday's round of 18 counted towards the NESCAC Tournament
title.
Host Williams struggled on Sunday, as none of the five Eph players
could equal Saturday's score. Senior Melissa Barton and Anne
O'Leary had the best score on the day for the purple with an 82.
First year Kristen Tubbs had the best Eph finish in the Fall
Classic with a score of 161.
On the Williams B team Lauren Anstey followed up her season low of
82 on Saturday with an 87 to show promise and Aimee Webber carded
an 85 today.
The Ephs concluded the fall portion of their schedule today and
will next play over spring break in Florida.
