Anchored by their veteran leadership, the NYU women's golf team earned a fifth-place finish at St. Lawrence Invitational in Canton, NY, over the weekend.  

Sophomore Kristina Shalhoup was the Violets' low scorer, recording a two-over-par 74 in Sunday's final round. She rebounded nicely after shooting an 82 on Saturday.

Overall, Shalhoup finished fourth individually in the nine-team field.

“Kristina was huge for us today and has continued to impress me,” said head coach Todd Kolean.

Senior Meaghan Kenny was NYU's second low scorer, posting a two-round total of 177 (83-94) and finishing tied for 14th overall.

NYU's next three finishers were all freshmen: Shannon Leonard (182, 89-93), Kyna Chang (185, 88-97) and Haley Packard (191, 100-91).

The Violets posted a two-day stroke total of 694 (342-352),

Host St. Lawrence won the competition with a 675 (340-335) total.

"We're very young and a bit inexperienced, but our veteran leaders were able to lead by example and carry the team to a good performance," Kolean said.
