FORT COLLINS, Colo. - After nearly two weeks between tournaments, the Colorado State Women's
Golf Team returned to play Monday and Tuesday in the Pioneer Collegiate
in Highlands Ranch. The team led after the first round, but slipped on
the second day of play to finish the tournament in 3rd place. The Rams
finished with 606, seven strokes behind winner and host team the
University of Denver. Leading the way for Colorado State was senior

7th place. Mayumi Motoyama, tying for 15th, finished at 151, seven
over-par. Also playing for the Rams were freshmen Kylee King and Lynette

play for the Rams was Stephanie Linnell who ended the tournament at an

CU Tournament Next On Agenda
The Rams have another break before heading to the Heather Farr Memorial
October 8th and 9th. Last year, Mayumi Motoyama finished 2nd in this
tournament with a five over 149. She looks to defend her status this
year as one of the most successful players in Colorado State history.
Second-year coach Megan Menzel leads her team back to this tournament
after a fourth place finish last year, behind winner San Diego State.
Colorado and the University of Nevada rounded out the top three. The
Rams played against both CU and Nevada earlier this season in the
Ptarmigan/Ram Fall Classic. CSU won that tournament and finished 13
strokes ahead of CU and 15 strokes ahead of Nevada.
Campos Finishes 9th Individually

Pioneer Collegiate, finishing tied for 9th place. Campos posted her best
score so far this season with a 72 in the second round and a six-over
par 150 to finish the tournament. Dawna Virdell also played individually
