WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. -- Bates sophomore Isabelle Meltzer placed 22nd out of 39 golfers to pace the Bates women's golf team Friday through Sunday at the NESCAC Championship, hosted by Williams College at Taconic Golf Club.

Meltzer (Summit, N.J.) recorded three birdies on the weekend, shooting back-to-back rounds of 79 to start before finishing up with an 80 on Sunday. She finished just five strokes back of the top 15. 

Beyond Meltzer, the next-best rounds of the weekend for the four-player Bates contingent belonged to junior captain Mehar Nijjer (Chandigarh, India), who recorded back-to-back scores of 82 to start the tournament. Nijjer actually ended up with more birdies than Meltzer, tallying five on the weekend on her way to 34th place. 

The best hole of the entire tournament for the Bobcats belonged to first-year Emma Lavallee (Chestnut Hill, Mass.), who eagled the par-5 18th hole on Sunday. 

The Bobcats combined to finish in 8th place at the final tournament of the spring.
