UBC T-Bird Women Score Stunning Victory
(March 11, 2010)
The University of British Columbia Thunderbirds Women's team, recording their first team victory of the season, scored a stunning 13-stroke upset triumph over four higher ranked NAIA Schools in the California Baptist University Spring Break Intercollegiate Championship, led by tournament medalist Jocelyne Alford of Calgary.
Playing at the Primm Valley GC in Primm, Nevada in a field that included seven of the top 16 programs in the NAIA, Alford produced back-to-back rounds of 2-over par 74 to pace the #10 ranked UBC squad to a 611 (+35) total against their #3 ranked hosts, California Baptist, who finished at 624.
The #8 ranked Concordia University of Oregon claimed third spot at 635 (+59) while #9 ranked Lubbock Christian University came in fourth at 637 and the upstart, unranked California State-San Marcos Cougars surprised one and all by finishing fifth at 640.
Alford, a second-year student from Calgary, led from start-to-finish (74-74--148) and was joined in the top five by teammates Vanessa Leon of Brampton, Ont. (76-76-152) and Alyssa Human of Kamloops, B.C. (74-79-153) who finished fourth and fifth respectively. Fellow T-Bird Lindsay Manion of Surrey, B.C. just missed the top 10, tying for 11th spot at 15 over par (79-80). Kylie Barros of Edmonton tied for 26th (78-87-165).
Charlotte Guilleux of Wayland Baptist lfinished two shots back of Allford at 76-74-150 evan though her team finished up in eighth place.
The T-Birds return to action at the end of this month when they visit Seaside, Calif., for the CSUMB Lady Otter Spring Invitational.
Following the CN Gail Moore Intercollegiate, which they'll host in early April at Vancouver's Shaughnessy Golf & Country Club, coach Chris MacDonald's Thunderbirds return to Primm, Nevada in May for the NAIA Independent Women's Golf Championships. If successful there, they'll go on to compete in the NAIA Women's Golf National Championship in Rapid City, SD before finishing their season at the beginning of June in the RCGA University College Championship in Fredericton, NB.
