Nation's 22nd-ranked team improves by 13 strokes in second day at Olivas Links.
VENTURA - Gillian Mendoza's ninth-place finish led UC Santa Cruz to sixth place out of eleven schools at the season-opening CA State Intercollegiate hosted by Cal Lutheran.
The Banana Slugs shot a 603 team score over the two rounds. The team dropped their score by 13 strokes on the second day, shooting a 295. It was the lowest team round in program history and second-sub 300 round of the calendar year after UCSC shot 299 last March at the Redlands Invitational.
Mendoza shot a 72(E) on the second day to finish with a 3-over-147, ten strokes behind the winner All-American Hannah Jugar of Redlands. It's the same course Mendoza won the Ventura Ladies Open a little over a month ago.
Senior Mara Anunciacion finished 21st with a 151. Charlotte Ruhl and Alyssa Yee finished tied for 26th with identical 153 scores, both shooting 78 on Day One and finishing with a 75.
Riley Birch finished the UCSC contingent with a 159, improving by eleven strokes on the second day.
The Banana Slugs stay in southern California this week and head to Palm Desert this weekend for the Redlands Invite.
