September 27, 2006 Goodyear, AZ (September 26) - The Saint Martin's Women's Golf team finished an impressive fourth at the Grand Canyon Invitational Tuesday. The Saints shot the third best round on the final day to solidify their sport in the top five. SMU came in with a 306 on day two for a two day total of 627, beating Western Washington, by one stroke, for the first time. Cal State San Marcos had Tuesday's best round of 301, winning the 12-team tourney with a score of 609. Southern Nazarene came in runner-up 11 strokes back at 620 followed by St Mary’s University with 623. "The girls played really well. We had solid play by everybody. For our first tournament everybody performed great. We had four girls break 80 in the second round,” said head coach Bob Grisham. “We have a few girls who are new and don't have a lot of Division II experience so for them to come out of the gate like they have is good to see." Babe Prante led the Saints finishing tied for fifth in the tournament after shooting a 76 in the first round and 75 in the second. Stacie Henden tied for 16th with a tournament total of 157. Maria Laraisse finished in 24th with 159. Lauren Roberts and Alexi Coltom tied for 27th both shooting 163. The Saints are back in action October 9th when they travel to Bellingham to compete in the Western Washington Invitational.
