Complete Scores

SANDESTIN, Fla. -- Wrapping up the fall slate with an appearance at the Golfweek Fall Invitational, the Christopher Newport women's golf team finished in 12th place among a talented field of 24 teams. The Captains (+77) finished with a 941 (305-312-324) over the three-day event, led by senior Lauren Sims (+15) and sophomore Alex Delgado (+18). 

With the overall performance, the Captains logged the second finest team score in program history for a 54-hole tournament. Last season, CNU set a program record with a 935 (+71) at the Golfweek DIII Invite and this year's showing in the same event ranks second all-time in both total score and relative to par. 

Along the way, the Captains also inserted this week's performance onto the single-round low charts as well, twice. In the first round, the CNU women recorded the second lowest single round effort in program history and the second round effort also ranked in the top-six all-time.

Playing at the Baytowne Golf Club in Sandestin, Fla., the Captains finished the third round with a 324 to wrap up a 77-over par effort as a team. On the individual leaderboard, Sims fired the best round of the day on Tuesday with a seven-over 79 while teammates Katie Watson and Alex Delgado were just one stroke behind her with eight-over 80's. D'yan Robinson contributed her 85 (+13) on the final day of her first career 54-hole event. 

Sims got off to a great start, shooting an even Par 36 on the first nine holes. She bogeyed the third hole but ran off three straight pars before a birdie two on the 106-yard Par 3 seventh hole to get back to Even. On the back nine, she added five more pars to finish with a team-high 34 for the tournament. She finished tied for 29th with a 231 (72-80-79). 

Watson notched three more birdies to finish with a team-high eight over the three rounds of play. The rookie also had seven pars to finish with an 80 on the day. For the tournament, she tied for 81st with a 246 (86-80-80). Delgado shot up three spots to finish tied for 37th with a 234 (80-74-80). The second-year star notched two more birdies, with a three on the 310-yard Par 4 eighth and a four on the 410-yard Par 5 thirteenth holes. 

Rounding out the counting scores on Tuesday was Robinson, with seven pars and one birdie to finish with an 85. She birdied the 471-yard Par 5 fifth hole for the second day in a row and led the Captains in Par 5 scoring during the week (5.07). 

Sophomore Elena Rezac (+31) tied for 86th on the individual leaderboard. With her effort, the Captains had all five starters finish in the top 90 -- they were one of only eight teams in the 24-team field to accomplish that feat. 

The Captains will return to action next Spring when they take on the Savannah Invitational on March 6-7.
