MILLBRAE, Calif. – For the second consecutive day, Cowgirl golf was led by a freshman at the Silicon Valley Showcase on the par-71, 6,084-yard Green Hills Country Club.
 
Kira Reisner shot 73 in the final round to pace Wyoming, which finished the 54-hole tournament ninth with a score of 912 (+60).
 
Lucia Morelli shot 1-under 70 in the opening round and 78 in the second round Monday. The freshman shot 75 Tuesday to finish 23^rd overall (+10).
 
Senior Kyla Wilde was the most consistent player for UW, finishing tied for 27^th (+13).

"Today was a much better overall performance from top to bottom," head coach Josey Stender said after UW shot its lowest round (301). "The team started off much more confident and even had the low round of the day going through our first nine holes. Lucia's top 25 (finish) in this caliber of field was very solid and consistent. Kira also had a stellar comeback from (Monday)."
 
Pepperdine finished at 854 (+2) and to edge Kansas State (855) for the team title. Pepperdine's Eunseo Choi shot a final round 68 to take the individual medalist honors, finishing -5 for the tournament to hold off San Francisco's Yu Shang (-4) by one stroke.
 
UW will shift the program's focus to hosting the Cowgirl Classic April 2-3 in Maricopa, Ariz.

"With three events left on familiar courses we can have a competitive, positive finish to the season," Stender said.
