Katie Allen leads the Bluejays with a tie for 35th place
CORNVILLE, Ariz. -- The Creighton women's golf team broke 300 twice in three rounds to place 13th at the Red Rocks Invitational, which concluded Sunday in Cornville, Ariz.
The team's 296 score on Sunday ranks as the program's lowest 18-hole performance since 2003, and came 24 hours after an opening-round 299 that was the program's first round under 300 since the second round of the 2016 ORU/SFA Women's Spring Break Invitational on March 14, 2016.
Freshman Katie Allen tied for 35th place to lead Creighton, firing rounds of 73, 73 and 74 for a 220 total. All three circuits for the Arizona native were better than her previous season-low round of 75.
Sophomore Amelia Lee shot rounds of 72 and 78 on Saturday before an even-par 71 on Sunday to tie for 41st with a 221 total. Today's round by Lee was Creighton's first this season of par or better, and the best loop by a Bluejay since Sarah Eversman's 68 on March 14, 2016 in the same 2016 ORU/SFA Women's Spring Break Invitational.
Margaret Hickey turned in scores of 75, 79 and 73. Her 73 was a collegiate-low and helped the sophomore tie for 59th.
Tying for 80th place was senior Rachel Grenko. Grenko compiled loops of 79, 76 and 78 for a 233 total. Her second round 76 was a season-best effort.
Rounding out the Bluejay contingent was Sydney Gillespie. The senior shook off an opening 84 to finish with matching 79s to take 102nd place.
Eighteen teams and 105 competitors participated at the Red Rocks Invitational, which was won by New Mexico State. The Aggies finished with a 1-over score of 853 to beat Cal State Fullerton by five shots. Southern Utah's Chanikan Yongyuan won the meet with a six-under aggregate of 207, including a 67 in Saturday's opening round.
Creighton's 901 total was eight shots better than the College of Charleston's 909 total that won last year's Red Rocks Invitational.
The meet was contested at Agave Highlands, which measured 5,919 yards and was a par 71 course.
Creighton returns to action with the 2019 KC Intercollegiate in Kansas City, Mo., on April 8-9.
