NAVE WINS GOLF TITLE, LEADS MOUNTIES TO TEAM TITLE
Only three community college golfers broke 80 during the first round of the Citi California
Community College Commission on Athletics State Women's Golf Championship on Monday,
and only four broke the 80 barrier during the second round on Tuesday. Mt. San Antonio's
Amanda Nave posted the lowest individual score each day, finishing with a 36-hole total of 145
(73, 72) on the par 72 course to win the individual title.
Nave's even-par round on the final day was nearly matched by teammate Nina Rodriguez, who
fired a 73 on Tuesday after an 80 on the opening day. Rodriguez' two-day total of 153 was good
enough for individual runner-up honors and helped Mt. San Antonio run away with the team
title. Lisa Bagley (80, 75) of Foothill College and Kierstan Capito (77, 79) of Santa Barbara City
College were in the hunt for individual runner-up honors with Rodriguez. Jeehee Hwang of Mt.
San Antonio finished fifth with a 161 (81, 80) and Autumn Alford of College of the Desert
placed sixth at 162 (81, 81).
Nave, Rodriguez, and Hwang didn't need much help in order for the Mounties to capture the
team title. Kate Jinawanit provided the deciding blow with a two-day total of 176 (88, 88) to give
Mt. San Antonio a team score of 635. College of the Desert finished second at 663 and Fresno
City College placed third at 695 while Sierra placed fourth at 744.
The top six individuals - Nave, Rodriguez, Bagley, Capito, Hwang, and Alford - each earn AllState recognition
