Brooke Matthews didn t lose a hole during a 5-and-4 rout of Brittany Shin in the match-play round of 64 at the U.S. Women s Amateur Championship on Wednesday at Westchester Country Club in Rye, N.Y.
The Rogers native, a junior at the University of Arkansas and the No. 3 seed, won consecutive holes on Nos. 4-6 to grab the early lead over Shin, a sophomore at Cal State Fullerton. Matthews increased her lead with wins at the 9th and 10th with a bogey and birdie, and she was shooting even par as she clinched the match after No. 14.
Apr. 1—RINDGE — Junior Savannah Ernst went for five points on four goals and an assist on Wednesday night, while junior Morgan Baxendale and senior Caroline Lounsbury added two goals apiece, but it would not quite be enough for the Franklin Pierce University women's lacrosse team to pull off an upset at Sodexo Field. Instead, No. 14 Bentley hung on for an 11-9 Northeast-10 Conference victory. .
