Deana Caruso scored a top-five finish and the (RV) Lewis-Clark State Women’s Golf team finished in second place in the Warrior Invitational at the Lewiston Golf and Country Club on Tuesday.
“Our last regular season event in the books,” coach Zach Anderson said. “Hosting can be a lot, but it’s also a great opportunity for the players to play a course they are comfortable with. I want to thank Lewiston Golf and Country Club, our athletic administration staff and all the volunteers that helped this tournament run so smoothly.” 
Caruso opened her round on No. 12 with a birdie and added another birdie on No. 18. The senior finished the final round at 2-over, 74 and finished three strokes off the lead with a tournament score of 7-over, 151.
Isabella Barquet just missed out on a top-10 finish in a tie for 11th. Barquet shot a 10-over, 82 in her final round and finished with a score of 157, two strokes shy of athe top 10. Dallis Shockey improved on her first round by four strokes in a round that included a birdie on No. 15 to finish one stroke behind Barquet in a tie for 13th.
“The women didn’t have their best today, but they really battled,” Anderson said. “Deana and Dallis came back today with a couple of great rounds.”
Kyla Currie started with a quadruple-bogey eight on No. 11 and struggled to find her footing in the final round but bounced back for a birdie on her final hole of the day to finish inside the top 15.
The Warriors shot a team score of 46-over, 622 for the tournament, 21 strokes behind winner No. 1 British Columbia and 11 shots better than third place No. 18 Oregon Tech.
“We beat two ranked teams,” Anderson said. “I really think this was a great tournament for our women to grow in the experience and take these lessons to conference.”
