UNLV'S LAST TOURNAMENT
UNLV women's golf finished 10th and Da Sol Chung earned a top-10 spot on the leaderboar at the fifth annual Las Vegas Founders Collegiate Showdown, played at Anthem Country Club. The Rebels fired a 298 (+10) as a team for the second straight day and had a 54-hole total of 896 (+32) in their first home tournament of the year. Chung led UNLV at the tournament, carding a two-under 70 on the final round to finish with a 215 (-1) and in a tie for eighth place. Chung's finish was the best mark of the year for the sophomore, who had not cracked the top 10 in her last two tournaments after posting nine such finishes last year as a freshman. Chung birdied four holes to go along with 12 pars and two bogies on the par 72 course as she broke out of her modest slump. Next for the Rebels was freshman Natasha Krishna, who was one of five UNLV student-athletes competing in their first home tournament of their careers. Krishna finished tied for 31st with a three-round score of 223 (+7). Another freshman, Kristin Ingram, was the next Rebel on the leaderboard, placing in a tied for 47th with a score of 227 (+11). Allison Chell rounded out the UNLV scorecard with a 241 (+25) which had her tied for 82nd. UNLV senior Seema Sadekar shot a three-over par 75 in the second round and a two-over par 74 during the final round, but she missed the opening round due to an illness.
