In its fifth year of existence, the University of Redlands women's golf program notched its inaugural tournament victory in school history on Sunday with a score of 350 during the Lady Bulldog Five Match at East Valley Golf Course in Beaumont.
Redlands out-played the runners-up from Whitman College (OR) by 14 strokes.
The Bulldogs also competed against familiar foes Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges (367), Occidental College (415) and Pomona-Pitzer Colleges (440) during the one-round event.
Ranked eighth in Division III by Golfstat, junior Tracy Saracino (Englewood, CO) led the Maroon and Gray with her score of 78 to finish one shot off of the leader, Occidental's Katie Park.
Freshman Hannah Durrette (Oceanside, CA) supplied a solid showing of 83 for fourth place overall, while senior Kim Masunaga (Cupertino, CA) provided a score of 93 to tie for 13th. Freshman Siarra Waddy (Temecula, CA) finished the round in 16th (96) as the Bulldogs' fourth contributor.
Redlands looks forward to competing in the SoCal Dutch Invitational on Tuesday and Wednesday at nearby Oak Valley Country Club, beginning at 1 p.m. each day.
