The Idaho women’s golf team worked its way up over the weekend, overtaking the competition in the final round to tie for first after three rounds. The run would end in a playoff, as the Vandals were unable to defend their title, getting edged out by Sacramento State at the Big Sky championship in Boulder City, Nevada.
Idaho and Sacramento State went into the playoff hole tied at 900 as a team. The Hornets ended the playoff with 16 strokes, compared to Vandals 18.
“We mounted a great comeback once again this year,” Idaho head coach Lisa Johnson said in a news release.
