HAMDEN, Connecticut – Quinnipiac sophomore Luciana Tobia-Palza (La Paz, Bolivia) finished tied for fourth at the Sixth Annual Quinnipiac Classic at New Haven Country Club in Hamden, Connecticut. As a team, Quinnipiac finished fifth out of 11 teams.
St. John's won the Bobcats' tournament led by medalist Kirsty Beckwith, who was the only golfer in the field to shoot under 80 for all three rounds. Beckwith finished at 226 (+16) for the tournament, which tied the record for 54 holes set by Albany's Annie Lee in the 2015 QU Classic.
Tobia-Palza shot a 162 (80-82) over the first two rounds before carding her best round of the two-day, three-round tournament with a 79 (+9) over the final 18. Tobia was +5 through the first three holes after a triple bogey on hole No. 2 and double bogey on hole No. 3 but settled in to finish at +8 at the turn. After a par on 10 and a birdie on 11, Tobia-Palza bogeyed on holes No. 12 and 13 before shooting par on her final five holes.
Julia Kemmling (Berlin, Connecticut) and Emily Ribbins (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands) were both tied for 15th at 247 (+37). Kemmling started Monday's first round with an 91, but shed 13 strokes off that score for the second 18 holes on the first day for a 78. The second-year Bobcat matched her second round, posting a 78 (+8) to finish eight spots higher than her first-day finish. Kemmling's third round was highlighted by her only three birdies of the tournament.
Ribbins was solid for the third-straight round, shooting an 83 (+13) on the final round after tallying an 84 for the first round and an 80 for the second round. Ribbins started Tuesday's final round with her highest score on the front nine of the three-round event before posting her best score on the back nine, highlighted by a birdie on hole No. 14.
Estefania Morales (Caracas, Venezuela) finished tied for 20th with an 86 on the final day to finish at 250 (+40) for the tournament. Junior Devan McCarrie (Yardley, Pennsylvania), playing as an individual, had a career-best 86 on the final round.
Quinnipiac returns to action on Oct. 24-25 when it travels to Quinnipiac, New York to compete in the St. John's Invitational.
