CLARKSTON, Wash. – Lewis-Clark State College's Carlos Davila and Lauren Hamm posted the top rounds of the day to claim medalist honors Tuesday at the Warrior Spring Invitational, played at Red Wolf Golf Club.
Davila, a junior, blistered the course with a career-best 6-under-par 66 to finish the 36-hole event at 142, 2-under-par. Davila entered the day three shots off the lead but wound up capturing top honors by five strokes.
Hamm, a senior, had a two-shot lead after the opening day, and improved her score by four strokes on Tuesday as she carded a 1-over-par 73, which again was the best round of any female golfer. Her 150 total gave her a seven-shot victory in her first collegiate win.
LC State's Devon Caruso was one of four players to break par on Tuesday's final 18 holes as he carded a 1-under 71. That gave him a 155 total, good enough for ninth and two shots behind teammate Jacob Waller, who finished at 153.
As a team, the Warrior men improved by 29 strokes over Monday's round, but Northwest Nazarene was able to improve by 30 and hold on for the team title. NNU finished at 600, while LC State was second at 608.
On the women's side, Alexandra Schmidt, a junior, finished in third at 161, while sophomore Deana Caruso, competing for the LC State B team, was fifth overall at 163.
The Warrior women wound up second behind NNU in a nail-bitter team race. LC State trailed by two shots after the first day and wound up losing by one, 654-655. The LC State B Team was third at 688.
LC State is back in action next Monday and Tuesday when it plays host to the LC State Invitational. The Cascade Collegiate Conference event will be played at the Lewiston Golf & Country Club and features 36 holes on Monday and 18 holes on Tuesday for the men, while the women will play 18 each day. It's the second of three conference tournaments that will determine the regular-season league champions.
