WILLIAMSBURG, Va. -- Leading Christopher Newport to a third-place showing on the team leaderboard, junior Lauren Sims fired her second career round under par with a second-round 71 (-1) at the Historic Triangle Invitational on Tuesday afternoon. Sims joined Elena Rezac (+7) in the top-five on the player leaderboard after the Captains' freshman scored a career-best 151 in the 36-hole tournament. 

Sims shot the low round in the event which featured 36 players from nine different teams. The only sub-par round out of 72 came with just two bogeys paired with three birdies and 13 pars. She picked up her second round under par in the last three rounds played after also firing a 71 in the final round of the Jekyll Island Women's Collegiate. With the performance, Sims joins Erica Whitehouse as the only CNU players to record multiple rounds under par during her career. 

In Tuesday's final round, Sims birdied the first hole of the day on the 332-yard Par 4 first. She added under-par holes on two of the three Par 3 holes on the front nine to go out in 34 strokes. Sims then piled up a run of six straight pars and nine of her last ten holes to close in 37 on the back. 

After shaving ten strokes off her opening round score, Sims flew up to fifth on the individual leaderboard. She finished in 152 strokes (81-71) and trailed Rezac by just one for fourth place overall. Rezac recorded a 151 (75-76) with back-to-back impressive rounds. 

The CNU freshman was one-over on the front and gave back just three strokes on the back to finish with a four-over 76 on day two. She birdied the 144-yard Par 3 tenth hole and edded another birdie on the 325-yard Par 4 12th. With her career-best performance in the final regular season tournament of the year, Rezac finished just four strokes off the pace set by Lynchburg's Emily Brubaker (+3) for individual medalist honors. 

Christopher Newport senior Shreya Ganta (+15) closed out the year with a 159 (81-78), good for 11th on the leaderboard. The Captains' All-American had ten pars and birdied the 442-yard Par 5 seventh hole in the round. 

Rounding out the Captains' performance overall was Cameron Marshall (+48) and Hannah Bristow (+56). Marshall shot a 91 to tie for her third lowest round of the season while Bristow shaved six strokes off her score to finish with an even 200 (103-97). The senior wrapped up a career-year with a consisten 98.0 stroke average
