ARGYLE, Texas — Led by a 4-under-par round from Ana Gonzalez, the UTSA women's golf team climbed four spots up the leaderboard on the final day of The Bruzzy on Monday at Lantana Golf Club (par 72/6,241 yards).
Gonzalez' 68 helped the Roadrunners post a 2-under 286, the second-best round of the day, and move into ninth place in the team standings. UTSA finished with a 19-over 883 (299-298-286) for the 54-hole tournament, placing ahead of a pair of ranked teams in No. 16 Miami, which ended up in 12th at 22-over 886, and 10th-place and No. 42 TCU (884) in the 15-team field that included eight top-50 squads.
A three-time All-Conference USA performer and the reigning conference medalist, Gonzalez wrote down four birdies and an eagle on the 342-yard, par-4 ninth hole en route to a season-low round and 11th career sub-70 scorecard. The Monterrey, Mexico, native finished with a share of 18th place at 2-over 218 after turning in a 72-78—150 on Sunday.
Katia Mexsen was the second-highest finishing Roadrunner, tying for 40th at 7-over 223. The Torreon, Mexico, product bounced back from a 78 in the opening round with a 1-over 73 Sunday afternoon before carding an even-par 72 on Monday. She used back-to-back birdies on Nos. 9-10 to match her UTSA career-low round set in 2019.
Camryn Carreon turned in a 9-over 225 to grab a share of 47th. After opening with a 73-78—151 on Sunday, the San Antonio native wrote down a trio of birdies to post a 2-over 74 in the final round.
Nicole Polivchak and Hannah Holzmann closed out the UTSA lineup in 53rd and 57th, respectively. Polivchak used four birdies to record a 72 and round out a 10-over 226 (84-70-72), while Holzmann posted a 74 on Monday on the strength of three birdies to finish off a 227 (76-77-74).
No. 7 Oklahoma State captured the team title at 15-under behind individual medalist Lianna Bailey (-11).
The Roadrunners now will turn their attention to the C-USA Championship on April 19-21 in Dade City, Fla, as the two-time defending conference champions.
