'AIEA, Hawaii --- The Montana State women's golf team carded a trio of 72s in the final round of the Dr. Donnis Thompson Invitational on Wednesday to finish the tournament in eighth place.

The Cats posted the fifth-best team score on Wednesday with a 5-over 289 and finished the tournament with a 54-hole score of 890 on the par-71 course. Ashleigh Wilson was the top-finishing Montana State golfer at the Pearl at Kalauao with a 6-over 219.

"Proud of this group today for going out and putting up a good team score," Montana State head coach Brittany Basye said. "We are seeing glimpses of what we can do. Obviously, coming out of the winter, it takes a few rounds to get back into it. They keep fighting, and the pieces will come together if they continue to put in the work. Seeing more red in the scorecards shows that they are fighting and starting to believe in themselves! Excited for a couple days of good practice outside in Arizona, and then we compete again next Monday and Tuesday!"

The Bobcats counted 72s from Wilson, Maddie Montoya, and Eva Heinz in the third round, as well as a 73 from Noral Seidl. Wilson went bogey-free on 12-straight holes during her round, highlighted by three birdies in the final four holes on the back nine. Montoya went bogey-free on seven-straight holes and sunk birdies on Nos. 1, 5, and 15 on Wednesday. Heinz carded a team-best five birdies in the final round, including two on her final three holes. Seidl shot par or better on holes 2 through 8, highlighted by a birdie on No. 8. Greeny carded a 74 to round out the team golfers on Wednesday, while Sailor Graham and Lauren Nau posted respective rounds of 77 and 80 while competing individually.

Wilson (219) finished tied for 23^rd to lead the Bobcats in Hawaii while Montoya (T-36^th) and Seidl (T-39^th) also finished in the top 40 with respective scores of 223 and 225. Heinz and Greeny both posted 54-hole scores of 227 to earn a share of 46^th place, Graham (240) tied for 68^th, and Nau (248) tied for 74^th.

No. 2 USC (28-under 824) earned a 23-stroke victory over No. 12 North Carolina and No. 23 Arizona State, who tied for second at 5-under 847. Texas State finished just two strokes back in fourth with an 847, and Louisiana Monroe rounded out the top five team scores with an 879.

USC's Jasmine Koo finished with an 11-under 202 to earn medalist honors while her teammate Catherine Park placed second at 5-under 208. North Carolina's Megan Streicher and Arizona State's Paula Schulz-Hanssen tied for third at 4-under 209, and Arizona State's Pimpisa Rubrong rounded out the top five individuals with a 3-under 210.

Montana State will compete in its second tournament in two weeks next Monday and Tuesday, March 23-24, traveling to Litchfield Park, Ariz., for the Bell Bank Pay It Forward Collegiate. The Minnesota-hosted tournament will be held on the Blue Course at the Wigwam Golf Club.
