MILL SPRING, N.C. – A solid start on Saturday lifted the Jacksonville State women's golf team to the team title at the Bright's Creek Women's Invite on Sunday.
An opening round 296 gave the Gamecocks a 15-shot lead at the Bright's Creek Golf Club through 18 holes. They held off the field in the second round before the third and final round was canceled by weather.
The 36-hole score of 603 ended up being 11 shots better than host Gardner-Webb in second place and gave the Gamecocks their second win of the season and their second in their last four tournaments. It continues a solid start to the spring schedule after JSU finished second in its first tournament earlier in February at the Lady Bison Classic.
The Gamecocks were led by senior Valentina Curet, who claimed her second-straight Top-10 finish in third place. The Santiago del Estero, Argentina, native finished third in the field of 40 golfers. The third-place finish is the highest finish in her career and comes after she carded rounds of 74 and 73 to finish with a 36-hole score of 147.
Curet finished just one shot out of a first-place tie between Quinnipiac's Leeyen Peralta and Winthrop's Emilie Marie Marceliussen-Dahl. She led the field with 28 pars in the 36-hole event.
Just one shot behind Curet and in a tie for fourth was junior Claire Vermette. The native of St. Petersburg, Fla., finished her tournament with a 74 after opening with a 75 on Saturday morning, putting her at 149 for the event.
Sophomore Berta Sanchez tied for eighth with a 36-hole score of 153 after the Barcelona, Spain, native carded rounds of 74 and 79, respectively. She made 24 pars over the two days, tied for fifth in the field.
Freshman Paula Perez Cubinas stormed out of the gates on Saturday with a 1-over 73 and finished the tournament in a tie for 11th after her second-round 83 gave her a two-day score of 156. Fellow freshman Libby Kilbride tied for 20th with a 163 that included rounds of 82 and 81, respectively.
Senior Ana Perez Altuna tied for 26th after back-to-back rounds of 83 gave her a 36-hole score of 166.
The Gamecocks' next event is scheduled for March 7-8, when they will compete in the UNF Collegiate at the Jacksonville Golf Club in Jacksonville, Fla.
