FLAGSTAFF, AZ - The New Mexico State women's golf team placed second while four players placed in the top-10 at the La Quinta Mountain Shootout in Flagstaff, Ariz. on Tuesday, September 18.

NMSU fired 106 pars as a team, to fire a 56-over-par 632 and finish in second place; just one stroke behind host team Northern Arizona. Head coach Paul Brilliant liked how well his team play knowing he has two sophomores and three freshman out on the course.

"We really played good, especially for how young our team is," Brilliant said. "There were some tricky holes on the back nine and we were unable to get used to them in the practice round because of the weather."

Freshman Suterra Chanachai (Bangkok, Thailand) played great firing three birdies for the Aggies and placed second on the individual leader board. She fired a 12-over-par 156, while Northern Arizona's Sophia Choi finished five strokes ahead of her with a 7-over-par 151.
