St. Lawrence University junior Aimee Caligiore of Lake Placid recorded her second straight top ten finish at the New York State Women's Amateur in Rome on Friday.

Caligiore, who earned All America honors and finished tied for 14th in the NCAA Division III Championships in May, began play in the 54-hole tournament with a 78 on a par 72 6,024 layout. She shot 77 in the second round and began the final round tied for fourth, nine shots off the lead. A balky putter contributed to a final round 81 and a tie for eighth in the field of 64.

Caligiore entered the Rome tournament just a few days after playing in a U.S. Women's Amateur qualifier on the difficult 6,455 yard track at Echo Lake Country Club in Westfield, N.J. She posted 5-over-par 77 and missed advancing by four strokes on a course rated 78.3 by the U.S. Golf Association.

Ironically, Caligiore was grouped with the medalist in both competitions. Victoria DeGroodt, of Walden, N.Y., came from behind to win the state title with a closing 71 as the leaders faltered on the final holes.

The Lake Placid golfer also played alongside Brittany Altomare, of Shrewsbury, Mass., in the N.J. event. The University of Virginia standout posted 4-under 68 for the victory.
