Golf Defeats UTRGV 5-2 in Match Play

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – Concluding the fall on a high note, the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi golf program topped UTRGV 5-2 after 18 holes at Lozano Golf Club on Saturday.
 
All seven student-athletes competed for the Islanders and it resulted in four wins, a pair of ties and one defeat.
 
"What a good way to end the fall season but to win a match play event. We want to thank UTRGV for traveling up for the day and playing. This is an event that we will plan on doing every fall season. Next season, the Islanders will plan on traveling to McAllen to defend. I'm very proud of our team and excited about getting into the offseason and preparing for the championship season in the spring," said head coach Pat Stephens.
 
Senior Maria Beltran was the first to finish as she was six up with five holes left to play. Sophomore Reagan Gray also clinched early after being three up with two to play.
 
Also picking up wins for the Islanders were juniors Lucie Charbonnier and Reese Drezins. They both were two up at the end.
 
Senior Lucy Martinez and freshman Elsa Tornvall "halved" as they tied after 18 points to earn 0.5 apiece for the team in the final score.
