KETTERING, Ohio (10/22/2013) -- For the second year in a row, the University of Detroit Mercy women's golf team did not leave Dayton empty handed as the Titans captured the UD Fall Invitational on Tuesday at the Par 70, 5,872-yard NCR Country Club's North Course.

"It was a great team effort and a good way to end the fall," said head coach Terri Anthony-Ryan. "Our goal is to always beat all the Horizon League teams and we did that and extended our lead."

The Titans won the tournament for the second-straight year after carding a 304 on the final 18 for a season-low 610 (306-304) total, nine shots better than Evansville, 12 ahead of host Dayton and 34 in front of the closest Horizon League school. The 610 score is tied for the fifth best mark in school history, while the 304 in the second round was also a season best and tied for the 11th best round in the Detroit record books.

UDM has now played in the Dayton tournament for seven-straight seasons and has come away with two wins, two runner-up efforts and a third-place finish. The win was also the 10th for Detroit since the start of the 2012-13 campaign and the 19th in school history.

Senior Lindsey Lammers led three Titans in the top 10, while four were in the top 20. Lammers claimed third with a 149 (75-74), just two strokes off the lead. She led the competition with eight birdies and was also in the top 10 in Par 3 (3.25), Par 4 (4.38) and Par 5 (4.50) scoring average, tying for the best score on the long holes.

Freshman Sarah Thompson was fifth with a season-best 151 (75-76) and made four birdies – the second most on the squad - while junior Olivia Richards tallied a team-high 20 pars en route to sharing eighth with a 154 (74-80). Both were also among the leaders on the course's Par 4's and Par 5's.

Junior Jessica Mallender shot a career-low 74 in the final round to tie for 20th with a 157 (83-74), just one shy of her career 36-hole tournament.

"Sarah as a freshman played very well and I am so happy for Jess coming back and playing that strong for us," said coach Ryan.

Senior Christina Thorne tied for 35th with a 162 (82-80), while freshman Sarah Montone, playing as an individual, took 12 shots off her first-round score to tally a 77 on Tuesday, tying for 57th with a 166 (89-77).

The Titans will now prepare for the spring schedule and the Horizon League Championship. The spring slate will be released in the near future.
