WOMEN'S GOLF: The Utah Valley women's golf team saw improvement for the second straight day on Tuesday at the Gonzaga/Eastern Washington Bulldog and Eagle Invitational at Hangman Valley Golf Course in Spokane, Wash.

Just like in Monday's second round, the Wolverines shot seven shots better in than in their prior 18 holes to finish in 13th, just three shots back of Eastern Washington and 33 in front of Idaho State.

Stacey Parkinson led UVU with a 78 in Tuesday's third and final round, while Erika Baldwin shot a 79. The top finisher for the Wolverines was Abbie Lei Archibald, who started the day in 40th and finished in a tie for 43rd after a final-round 80.

"I was proud of Stacey and Erika for their turnaround. They both struggled a little bit yesterday," said UVU head coach Chris Curran. "And I'm proud of the way the team played overall. We improved each round. I think we're headed in right direction going into next week."

Northern Arizona won the team competition by six shots over Montana, while Gonzaga's Victoria Fallgren earned medalist honors with a final-round 67, 5-under-par. Fallgren finished the tournament at 1-over, four shots better than two other golfers.

Utah Valley will now compete at the NAU Mountain Shootout next Monday and Tuesday in Flagstaff, Arizona.
