WEST HARTFORD, Conn. -- Bates sophomore
Isabelle Meltzer turned in an impressive performance Saturday and Sunday at the Trinity Bantams / Hartford Hawks Women's Spring Invitational, placing third out of 40 golfers in the field.
The Bobcats did not compete as a team at the tournament, opting to send three individuals instead.
Meltzer (Summit, N.J.) shot a 79 on Saturday and a 77 on Sunday at Rockledge Golf Course. She birdied the par-4 15th hole on Saturday before following that up with three more birdies on Sunday.
Her two-day score of 12 over par was just seven strokes back of medalist honors.
Junior captain
Mehar Nijjer (Chandigarh, India) also impressed for the Bobcats, finishing in fifth place. She birdied a pair of holes on Saturday on her way to an 80 before shooting an 85 to conclude the tournament on Sunday.
