The Arizona women's golf team finished third in the Hooters Colligate Match Play Championship yesterday after defeating Oklahoma 3-2 in Howey-In-The-Hills, Fla.
Juniors Cassandra Kirkland, Whitney Welch and Lani Elston were all victorious for the Wildcats in their final fall tournament.
Arizona fell to No. 1 seed Duke 3-2 on Monday after defeating Washington 3-1-1 earlier in the day. Senior Mar Garcia won both her matches on the day, but the Wildcats could only muster two wins against the Blue Devils.
The team will not compete again until February when they play in the Northrop Grumman Regional Challenge in Palos Verdes Estates, Calif. to begin their spring schedule.
