WINNIPEG – The University of Manitoba Bisons women’s golf team posted its best finish in four years while the men’s team cracked the top 10 at the the 2010 Canadian University/College Championship in Fredericton, NB.
The Bisons women’s team tied for sixth while the men’s team placed ninth in the tournament which wrapped up after three rounds as the fourth and final round was cancelled Thursday due to foul weather.
Leading the women’s team was third-year Sarah Stebeleski who placed 19th overall in the third round shooting a 12-over 84 for a 246 (30-over) total score. First-year Lindsay Stewart fired a nine-over 81 for a total score of 251 (35-over) and 22nd overall placing. Fifth-year Lauren Rousseau tied for 31st with her score of 87 in the third round and overall score of 261 (45-over) while third-year Anne Thorimbert shot a third-round 93 and tied for 42nd place with an overall score of 272 (56-over). Second-year Chelsea Hummelt shot a 90 in the third round and placed 46th overall with a total score of 275 (59-over).
There were 52 competitors in the women’s field with the team championship title won by the University of British Columbia.
In men’s action, third-year Bobby Wiebe recorded Manitoba’s lowest round firing a 71 (1-under) which included five birdies in the third round. He and Bisons first-year player Ryan Pitzel tied for 39th overall with a 226 (10-over) total score. Pitzel and second-year Riley Unger each shot a 77 in the third round. Unger and Bisons Burke Wiebe, who shot a 76, tied for 49th with total scores of 229.
The men’s team title was won by Université Laval.
“I was quite happy (with) how the men’s team rebounded from a tough second round in the rain and rallied to make the Top 10,” Bisons golf co-coach Garth Goodbrandson said in a release. “The women’s team also had a good tournament and played really solid throughout the three rounds.”
The tournament, in its eighth year, included 20 men’s teams and 10 women’s teams.
