RESULTS

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – The Merrimack College women's golf team was led by a pair of sub-80 rounds from Prakruthi Sastry over the past two days, as the Kingsmill Intercollegiate closed Tuesday afternoon at the River Course at Kingsmill Resort.  

Sastry's play was good enough to tie for 27th among the 79-player field. She had an opening round 76 Monday morning with 10 pars and two birdies, then had an afternoon total of 83 to close out the long day. Nine pars and a pair of birdies highlighted her card in the closing round Tuesday for a 78 to notch the top score of the tournament for the Warriors.

Jacquelyn Stiles had an exceptionally consistent couple days for the team's second-best total. She had an opening round of 81 with 10 pars, then closed the day with an 83. She returned to the course Tuesday and rode a stretch of five pars in six holes on the back-9 to compile an 82 to end in a tie for 52nd overall.
