FINAL RESULTS// MOUNTAIN WEST WOMEN'S GOLF STATS

LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - UNLV Women's Golf wrapped up its first tournament win of the 2016-17 season on Tuesday at the Battle of Boulder Creek, finishing at 12-under 852 after shooting even as a team in the final round. Three weeks after recording her first tournament victory of her collegiate career, junior Mackenzie Raim notched her second one, carding a 1-under 71 in the third round Tuesday to finish at 7-under 209 to take medalist honors. In all, eight of nine Rebels competing in the two-day event at their home course of Boulder Creek Golf Club finished in the top eight, including first through third, while the lowest finish was a tie for 17th.

The Scarlet & Gray entered the day with a 33-shot lead over second place Georgetown and extended that gap to 41 by tournament's end to earn the team victory. Raim also began the final round in first after carding a pair of 69s in the first two rounds to get to 6-under, then brought her final score to 7-under after shooting a 71 on Tuesday to capture the individual title. Classmate Harley Dubsky held tight in second place, finishing the tournament at 2-under 214 in her best three-round performance of the year. A day after matching the second-lowest single round score in program history with a 65, senior Vivian Chen -- playing individually -- carded a 2-over in round three to bring her final score to 1-under 215 for a third-place finish. Fellow senior Alexandra Kaui and sophomore Elizabeth Prior each came in two shots behind Chen at 1-over 217 to tie for fourth, followed by newcomer Nastasia Kossacky in seventh with a 4-over 220. Sophomore Alyssa Getty and freshman Alli Kim were each a shot behind Kossacky at 5-over 221 to tied for eighth, while sophomore Shannon Oh rounded things out in a tie for 17th with a 16-over 232.

Georgetown held steady in second, finishing at 29-over 893, followed by Oklahoma City University (75-over, 939) in third, Eastern Washington (77-over, 941) in fourth and South Dakota (93-over 957) in fifth.

The Rebels don't have much down time as they will head to Tucson, Arizona, this weekend for the Mountain View Invitational, March 10-12. First round play gets underway Friday morning at Sadlebrook Golf Club.
