Playing just their second game in nearly four months, you couldn’t blame the San Diego State women’s golf team if it was a bit rusty in this week’s Bay Area Classic.

But rather than fold up against some of the best teams in the country, the Aztecs had their best finish of the season, placing in fourth in the 19-team field.

Their two-day total of 628 was 21 behind winner Northern Arizona’s 607. The tournament was held Monday and Tuesday at the Blue Rock Springs Golf Club in Vallejo.

SDSU also had some individual standouts, with sophomore Christelle Cuzon and freshman Jo Clingan tying for third place with an eight-over par 150.

That score was a career-best for both golfers.

Pepperdine’s Jenny Glasgow won the tournament, shooting a two-over par 144 over the two days.

Also contributing to the Aztecs effort were Jill Janotta, Nikki Chigas and Jennifer Hawkins.

SDSU now has to wait another month to compete, April 6-7, when it goes to the Utah-Dixie Classic in St. George, Utah.

Judging by their most recent performance, perhaps the Aztecs have found its key to success ? a long break.
