WILMINGTON, N.C. - Senior Liliana Alvarez shot a three-over par 75 as the Tulane women's golf teamed wrapped up the three-day Landfall Tradition in fifth place Sunday afternoon at the par 72, 6,070 yard Country Club of Landfall Nicklaus Course.
The Green Wave concluded the three rounds with a total of 922, 10 strokes behind Conference USA foe and fourth-place team Tulsa. Purdue, which turned the lowest round of the weekend with a 286 on Sunday, ran away with the tournament crown with a three-day total of 877. The Boilermakers were 17 strokes ahead of second place Wake Forest and 29 ahead of Virginia, which claimed third.
For the second consecutive day, Alvarez turned in the lowest round for Tulane and was the Wave's top finisher in the tournament, tying for 13th in the individual standings (82, 70, 75 = 227). Mary Ellen Jacobs carded a 76 in the final round to finish two strokes behind Alvarez and in a tie for 15th (76, 77, 76 = 229) while Jessica Issler also played a round of 76 on Sunday to finish in 28th (81, 77, 76 = 234).
Freshman Kasi Lee was next for the Wave, shooting a 78 in the final round to finish tied for 34th (77, 82, 78 = 237), two strokes ahead of Tulane junior Alison Walshe, who recorded her lowest of the weekend on Sunday (76) and finished in a tie for 38th (84, 79, 76 = 239).
In the individual race, Purdue freshman Christel Boeljon's tournament-low round of five-under 67 on Sunday was enough to take the crown from Tulsa's Leisl Hasbrouck, who held the lead through the first two days. Boeljon finished the tournament with a four-under par 212 (74, 71, 67 = 212) while Hasbrouck finished even-par (70, 72, 74 = 216). Virginia's Leah Wigger checked in with a two-over par 218 (72, 74, 72 = 218) for third while Purdue's Myrte Eikenaar and Nanette Hill and Maggie Simons both of Wake Forest tied for fourth with three-rounds sums of 221.
Tulane concludes the 2005 fall season at the Hooters Match Play in Howey-in-the Hills, Fla. on November 11-13.
