Caligiore, DiGiovanni pace Saints to another Invitational Title

Posted

Junior Aimee Caligiore finished second as an individual and first year Julia DiGiovanni posted a top-ten finish in her first collegiate tournament as St. Lawrence University's women's golf team overtook Middlebury College on day two of the 2011 St. Lawrence University Invitational to win the team title for the fourth straight year.

In Saturday's opening round of the nine-team women's tournament, Middlebury took the first day lead with a best-of-four total of 337, three strokes ahead of the Saints with Ithaca and NYU just one and two strokes behind SLU in a tight team competition.

The Saints, led by Caligiore's second straight 76 on the 5809 par-72 SLU course, shot 335 with their best four of five scores on Sunday and Middlebury shot a 339 total as the Saints slipped into first with a 675-676 win over the Panthers. Ithaca College finished third with a 681 total while Corltand was fourth and New York University was fifth in the nine-team tournament.

St. John Fisher's Alexandra Battle had the top round of the day on Saturday, shooting even-par 72 and came back with a 78 on Sunday to finish with a 150 total, edging Caligiore by two strokes for individual medalist honors. Caligiore's 76 was the second best score of Sunday's competition with Kristina Shaloup of NYU shooting a 74 for the low round of day two.

DiGiovanni, who shot 85 in her first official collegiate round on Saturday, came back with a solid 80 on Sunday and finished tied for 10th with a 165 total. Senior Melissa Snizek shot rounds of 84 and 86 for a 170 total which was 12th overall while first year Maddie Moore shot 95-96 for a 191 total and tied for 28th with sophomore Kelly Hale shooting 99 and 93 for a 192 total, tying for 30th. Moore's round was the fourth counting score for the Saints on Saturday while Hale's 93, her collegiate best, was the fourth counting score on Sunday.

The Saints will play in the NYU Invitational Sept. 17-18.
