The Tommies were unbeaten in four of the five matchups on day two with three round wins and one draw.
PALM DESERT, Calif. – Head Coach Katie Hanneman's Tommies continued their hot start out of the new year break with another victory at the Mountain Classic Match play. Their semi-final win came by a score of 3-1-1 against the host Boise State Broncos.
Emma Davies led the way with a commanding seven-hole victory against her individual matchup. Davies needed just 12 holes to secure the win. She birdied three of the 12 holes she played and finished +1 on the day. The sophomore birdied the first two holes and never relinquished the lead.
Isabelle Lynch and Niki Reineke each defeated their opposition by three holes with nearly identical rounds. Lynch finished her 16 holes at +1 as she made par or better on all but two holes. The freshman Reineke also finished +1 with one birdie and two bogeys.
Kathryn VanArragon rallied from down one hole with two to play with a birdie on a par-three on 17 and a par on a par-five on the final hole. The freshman started very strong with four birdies in her first eight holes. She fought through some adversity during the middle of the round with two bogeys and a double bogey between holes nine and 13 and finished par or better on each of her last five.
The Toms will play for their first match play championship title in program history tomorrow as they face off with Northern Arizona. NAU defeated Wyoming in the semi-final 4-1.
Quoting Coach Hanneman
"A great day on the course today. We fought through a lot of ups and downs to come out with the overall victory. It was great to compete against a top team and we are excited to play in the championship match tomorrow."
