MONROE, La. — The Sam Houston women's golf team won their third tournament in a row and fifth this season as it finished as the only team under par on Tuesday when it claimed the title at the ULM Invitational at Bayou DeSiard Country Club.

The Kats finished with the lowest team scores in each of the tournament's three rounds after putting together a 282 in Round 3, its best of the week. That effort dropped the Kats to –4 for the tournament as they ran away from the 12-team field to win by 19 shots.

Despite playing as an individual, freshman Amelia Guo turned in the best finish among the Bearkats by coming in a tie for third at –4 for the tournament. She fired rounds of 68 and 73 on Monday before carding a 71 in Round 3, a round which included an eagle on the Par-4 12th hole.

Jenn David finished in sixth place and was the only other Bearkat under par for the week, finishing at –1 for the tournament after closing with a round of 73. Viera Permata Rosada also turned in a round of 73 on Tuesday to finish at even par for the week and in a tie for seventh.

Grace Jin rebounded from a difficult second round on Monday to turn in the best round in the field on Tuesday, rocketing up the leaderboard into a finish of 13th place overall after a round of 67 which included six birdies and a single bogey.

Rosada also registered a top-10 finish with a final round of 73, tying for seventh. Jenn Herbst finished her week with a 75 to end in a tie for 21st.

The week in Monroe wraps up pre-conference play for Sam Houston as they will now take two weeks away from competition before taking part in the program's first Conference USA Championship, April 15-17. The championship will be held not far from Huntsville, at High Meadow Ranch GC in Magnolia.
