Laude places 12th, Colosky 15th to lead CMU
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – Jami Laude and Bria Colosky both posted top-15 individual finishes as the Central Michigan golf team finished fifth on Sunday in the Bowling Green Dolores Black Invitational at Stone Ridge Golf Club.
The Chippewas shot 310 for the second-consecutive day to finish with a 620 team total in the 36-hole tournament. They began Sunday's final round tied for sixth place with Western Michigan. The Broncos finished sixth with a 624 total.
"Even though today's round was the same score as yesterday's, I feel as though we played much better today," CMU coach Jim Earle said. "The conditions were a few strokes more difficult with a gusty northwest wind."
Laude, who shot 75 in Saturday's first round, posted a 77 on Sunday to finish with a 152 total and among a group tied for 12th place in the 63-player field. Colosky matched Laude's 77 after opening with a 76. She finished at 153, tied for 15th.
Colosky carded 27 pars in her 36 holes in the event, tying for the most in the field.
CMU's Danielle Sawyer shot a team-best 76 on Sunday to finish with a 156 total and among a group tied for 25th, while the Chippewas' Meghan Deardorff closed with an 80 to finish tied for 32nd with a 159 total. CMU's Holly Hines shot 82 on Sunday to finish at 168.
The Chippewas' Rachel Leucuta, playing as an individual, posted her second-consecutive 80 to finish at 160, tied for 35th.
Sawyer, a junior from Grafton, Ont., displayed a consistency on Sunday, shooting 38 on both the front nine and on the back nine and made no worse than a bogey in her round.
"Danielle played very steadily and had a very good week off the tee," Earle said.
Oakland posted a 297 team score on Sunday to win the tournament with a 592 team total, six shot ahead of runner-up Ohio. Host Bowling Green (605) was third, followed by Eastern Michigan (609).
Ohio's Emily Hughes shot 72-74 – 146 to claim medalist honors. She finished one shot ahead of teammate Nicole Smiley and Maddie Zack of Oakland.
The Chippewas, Ohio, Bowling Green, Eastern Michigan and Western Michigan – along with Kent State, Toledo, Akron, Ball State and Northern Illinois, will partake in the Mid-American Conference Championships in two weeks at Purgatory Golf Club in Noblesville, Ind.
The Chippewas finished third in the MAC Fall Preview at Purgatory in mid-October, and set a number of records in the process, including program scoring marks for 18, 36 and 54 holes.
"We have a little momentum going into the MAC Championships and the tournament will be played on a course where we obviously played very well," Earle said.
