COMPLETE RESULTS IN PDF

Aurora, OR - Portland State placed third in the inaugural Rose City Collegiate Invitational at Langdon Farms, recording 299-300-298=897.

North Texas won the tournament, shooting a final-round 291 - the best round in the 54-hole event - for a team score of 889. UNT bettered Oregon State, which came in with 294 and 892.

The Vikings, who co-hosted the tournament with Oregon State, entered the day one shot behind North Texas and OSU. Those three schools played head-to-head in the final five threesomes.

Kelsey Kipp of North Texas and Whitney French of OSU paced those two teams, tying for first at one-under par 215. Kipp won the playoff for medalist honors, on the 12th playoff hole.

Portland State's 897 total over 54 holes ranks as the second-best performance in school history. It was the best team score ever under fourth-year Head Coach Kathleen Takaishi. The team's previous best with Takaishi at the helm was the 2010 Big Sky Championship winning 900 which was produced at Ocotillo Golf Club in Chandler, AZ. The school record score is 886, set at the 2004 Big Sky Championship.

Junior Tiffany Schoning posted a career-best score at 73-74-73=220. It was two strokes better than her season-opening 222 at the Circling Raven Collegiate Invitational. Schoning placed sixth overall.

Senior Kalyn Dodge was nearly as good, firing 73-76-73=222. That set a new career-best for Dodge by seven shots. She placed in a tie for seventh.

Senior Alexia Brown finished in 20th place. Brown shot 79-75-75=229.

Sophomore Britney Yada came in at 234 to place in a tie for 37th . Freshman Loren Forney shot 77-81-77=235 and tied for 41st among 78 players.

TEAM NOTES: The tournament, which the Vikings co-hosted with Oregon State, is the first that PSU has hosted in the 13-year history of the women's golf program… Portland State beat the other four Big Sky schools competing in the tournament… Schoning has a 73.67 scoring average through six fall rounds… Brown has now played 87 career rounds and ranks fourth in Portland State history… freshman Katie Ortman was playing in her first tournament as an individual (not counting toward team score).
