As a team, UM carded a final-round 318. Montana sophomore Jacqueline Olson shot a team-best 236 overall, and carded a 5-over-par 77 in the final round. It was enough to tie her for 31st place overall, and she also tied UM’s best round of the tour- nament. Eastern Washington placed first as a team, but the individual title went to Jennifer Bermingham of UC-Riverside, who shot 217 overall. On the final 18 holes she carded a 2-over-par 74. Her best golf came in the second round, when she fired a 1-under-par 71. The Griz will compete in two final fall tournaments. Montana’s next competition takes place Oct. 8-9 at the Boise State Classic.
