BOULDER CITY, Nev. – Due to the round being suspended due to excessive wind, the RMAC Championship final totals only took each teams first 45 holes for the final score. This puts the Yellow Jackets final total at 831 (+111) for the 45-hole total. BHSU ended up finishing ninth this year in the tournament, which is the same place they finished last year, but the Yellow Jackets did make up a lot of strokes on the field over the course of the past year.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• Abbi Beld finished tied for the BHSU lead with a 204 (+24) after shooting a 85 (+13) over the 18 holes, but with only the front nine counting, she shot a 40 (+4) here today to sit in 37^th place. Beld, who shot 80 (+8) in round one and 84 (+12) finished her freshman year great. She started the day very strong making eight pars in the first 12 holes and shooting a 40 (+4) on the front nine. She had a bit of a tough stretch from holes 13-16, before making par on 17.
• Leyni Stavola was unable to stay atop the team lead as she dropped to second today with a 45-hole score of 208 (+28) with a 44 (+8) today and an 18-hole score (that doesn't count) of 89 (+17). Still, after shooting an 81 (+9), and an 83 (+11) in the first two rounds, Stavola sits in 43^rd place. She put up five pars today and started her round +6 through seven.
• Shelbi Gardner, another freshman, who's had a great season, put up a team-low 79 (+7) today, but shot a 40 (+4) on the front nine. It was also the low 18-hole score for the tournament for BHSU. This put in third on the team with a 210 (+30) and also in a tie for 45^th. Gardner had a beautiful 40 (+4) on the front nine with six pars and then made another six pars, with only three bogeys, on the back nine to shoot 39 (+3). She ended up with 12 pars on the day.
• Makaela Swanson came in next staying in fourth with a 45-hole score of 211 (+31) with a 43 (+7) today and an 18-hole score of 84 (+12) today to move into 47^th place.
