This year’s Women’s Golf team saw some ups and downs at the tournaments in which they participated. In September of 2007, the team started out with bang, finishing 2nd at the Giustina Memorial Classic while the men’s team took home the championship trophy. Subsequent tournaments, however, left more to be desired. For the next three competitions, the team placed 7th, 14th, and 16th, in succession. Coach Rise Lakowske, nevertheless, stayed positive and said at the Heather Farr Memorial, “Overall, we would have liked to perform better but there were a lot of positives to take from this tournament as we move forward.” The Beavs ended their fall season with a 4th place win in Hawaii. In the spring, the team played distinctively better, never placing less than 10th in any of their competitions, though overall performance was still a bit inconsistent. The team’s rank at different tournaments was jumping from 4th, to 7th. to 4th, to 8th, to 3rd. and finally 10th at the Pac-10 Conference Championships. At the Championships, with a team total of 14 birdies, Coach Lakowske commented, “I think we have a great group of players to work with and a terrific base to build successful teams in the future. We will use this result to motivate us as we go forward. | Story by Toan Ngo (Above) Julianna Uhrik at the Giustina Memorial Classic.
