The tournament is being held at Copper River Country Club, and has a field of 19 teams. Copper River has a par average of 72 and a total distance of 6004 yards.


A wet Monday left the Bulldogs in ninth place after the first day, but solid performances by all five Bulldog golfers the second day aided the Bulldogs in jumping up four places.


UC Irvine was the most consistent team in the invitational and it showed, as they were the only team in the field to finish under par.


The individual winner also belongs to UC Irvine, with Selanee’ Henderson shooting a 5-under 67 for the Anteaters Monday and a 2-under 70 Tuesday.


For the Bulldogs, Laura Luethke finished her opening round amidst wind and rain, completing her round in a tie for tenth place with a 3-over 73. Luethke finished the tournament with a 151, 6 strokes over par, and was the Bulldogs third-best finisher.
