ST. GEORGE, Utah, March 19 - Southern Utah's women's golf team continued to bounce back from a slow start Tuesday but it wasn't enough to move the Thunderbirds very far up the leaderboard as SUU finished 13^th at the BYU at Entrada Classic.

After an opening-round 325 the Thunderbirds found themselves in 14^th place in the 15-team tournament, and although they shaved seven strokes off that score in the second round and another eight in the third they still wound up with a disappointing 13^th place finish at 89 over par 953 over the par-72, 6,039-yard course.

Junior Kaohi Loo led the way for the Thunderbirds with a 40^th place finish at 24-over par 236, while senior Sadie Palmer and sophomore Monica Jung tied for 50^th at 239. Freshman Rynae Baca finished fourth among Thunderbirds in 65^th place at 246 while fellow frosh Nicole Thomas shot 248 for 67^th place. SUU's Jamie Millard finished 72^nd at 252 playing as an individual.

Wisconsin was the wire-to-wire winner of the tournament. The Badgers, led by individual champion Kimberly Dinh ,who shot 216, and runner-up Kris Yoo, who carded a 217, finished at 24-over par 888, six strokes better than second-place Minnesota.
