No. 7 St. Mary's earned second place at the DBU Classic on Tuesday afternoon. Despite battling high temperatures and a southern wind that whipped up to 15mph, the Rattlers played well over the two days and finished as runners up to No. 2 Lynn. St. Mary's topped No. 1 DBU by one stroke.
In the individual competition, Sofia Ruescas finished T2 after shooting a final round of 73 (1-over par). Ruescas put together three steady rounds to finish the DBU Classic at 2-under par. Sofia carded 10 birdies over the course of three rounds at Robson Ranch.
She was joined inside the top ten by Rebecca Reed (even par) who finished in solo 7th. Reed carded rounds of 73-70-73 over her tournament to account for her second top ten finish of the season.
Statistically, the Rattlers excelled in Denton on the par 5s. St. Mary's led the field in scoring on par 5s, recording a three-round total of 16-under par. The Rattlers also made the most birdies of any team in attendance, collecting 45 over the two days.
COACH THOMAS KEARNEY ON THE FINISH
"We're going back home again with some great feedback from the week. We have some really great positives to take away, but also recognize that we still aren't where we want to be. We are growing a developing every day, and that is all we can ask for. We'll get home and go back to work to prepare for the next one."
UP NEXT
The Rattlers return to San Antonio to rest and practice in preparation for the West Texas A&M Fall Invite. The Tournament will run from October 4-5th at Tascosa Country Club in Canyon, Texas.
