Kiley Reisner finishes strong to lead Cowgirls at Silicon Valley Showcase

Freshman shoots 73 in final round, Wyoming places 10th

MILLBRAE, Calif. – Wyoming freshman Kiley Reisner shot a final round 73 to lead Cowgirl golf, which finished 10th at the Silicon Valley Showcase on Tuesday at Green Hills Country Club.

Reisner, coming off winning the individual trophy on March 8 at the Thunderbird Classic in St. George, Utah, finished the 54-hole tournament tied for 21st at +10.

"Kiley should be really proud of her finish on a difficult golf course in a strong field," UW head coach Josey Stender said. "Overall, as a team, we played much better than we scored. On a golf course with little margin for error, we just need to have more confidence in our abilities."

Eastern Michigan, led by individual medalist Baiyok Sukterm (-3), rallied to beat Cal by one stroke in the team race with a three-round score of 860 (+8).

UW will host the annual Cowgirl Classic April 7-8 at Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club in Maricopa, Ariz.

"This group continues to play with resilience, even while battling injuries," Stender said. "Fortunately, we have a lot of golf left in the season on familiar courses which will help in our preparation."
