SDSU started the tournament off hot, shooting a team total 4-over-par 292, which put the Aztecs in sixth place. However, a 25-over-par 313 second round score led to a slip in the standings. SDSU was able to replicate its first round performance and jump up three spots in the final round.

Sophomore Stephanie Barbaglia came in second for the Aztecs with an 8-over-par 224. She shot a career-low 2-under-par 70 in the final round, her best of the tournament. The sophomore’s comeback was aided by a team-high six birdies, including three in a row on holes 2 through 4. Barbaglia finished tied for 38th in the field.

Following Barbaglia was senior Andrea Gomez, who shot an 11-over-par 227 for the tournament. Gomez fired an even-par 72 in the final round after she birdied four out of five holes on holes 8-12. Fellow senior Anna Lina Otten came in fifth for SDSU, shooting a 12-over-par 228 for the tournament.

USC – No. 2 in the nation, according to NBC Sports – won the team event and had one of its athletes take home the individual title. After a first round lead, the Trojans were in the driver’s seat the whole tournament, eventually winning by a margin of 31 strokes.

The Aztecs’ next competition will be held Oct. 6-8 at the University of Denver Club in Highlands Ranch, Colorado.
