BOULDER CITY, Nev. — Henderson State shot their best round as a team today in the third round of the NCAA Division 2 Golf Championship at Boulder Creek Golf Club, but it was not enough to advance to the match play portion of the tournament.

HSU finishes the tournament in 10th place, which secured their fourth straight year with a top ten finish in Division 2 nationally, one of only three schools to accomplish that feat.

The Reddies shot a 1-over 289 on Thursday, led by Lily Nelson and Paulina Narvaez, who each shot a 1-under par 71 for the day. Nelson finished 15th place individually after her second consecutive round under par. The junior again birdied three of her first nine holes on the day.

Narvaez shot 19 spots up the individual leaderboard, shooting six strokes less than Wednesday's round. The 71 was her best round of the championship.

Felisa Sajulga fired a 1-over par 73 on the day. Her round was highlighted by an eagle on the par 5 second hole. Madolyn Kost recorded a 2-over 74, good for her best round of the championship as well. Cloe Poizac rounded out the day's scores with a 77.

"The girls have done a great job this season of continuing to battle," said Director of Golf Matt Ward; "we came up a little short of our goal this year, but for this team to come out and work and place in the top ten at nationals for the fourth year in a row is worthy of celebration. We're excited to get back to Arkadelphia and get ready for next season!"
