Palos Verdes, Calif. - The second-ranked Arizona State University women's golf team finished in second place at the 2007 Northrop Grumman Regional Challenge in Palos Verdes, Calif. ASU shot a 39-over 891, nine strokes behind Pepperdine, who took the top-spot.

"[The girls] really played well but Pepperdine played better and won the tournament," said Associate Head Coach Missy Farr-Kaye. "We get better every day and it's a great start to the spring season."

Sophomore All-American Azahara Munoz led the Sun Devils for the entire tournament and finished in a tie for second place. Munoz shot a 6-over 219.

"Aza [Munoz] gave away several shot at the end in the last couple rounds," said Farr-Kaye. "I think it is a matter of time that she will break through big. She has been playing beautiful golf."

Sophomore All-American Jennifer Osborn shot a 9-over 222 to tie for 12th. Freshman Anna Nordqvist tied for 14th after shooting a 10-over 223. Freshman Juliana Murcia shot a 17-over 30 to tie for 31st. Redshirt freshman Liisa Kelo tied for 41st after shooting a 22-over 235.
