Stanford, Calif.—Arizona State senior Noemi Jimenez recorded her second top-10 finish of the season at the Stanford Intercollegiate on Sunday.  After shooting a final round 72 at the par-71, 6,130-yard Stanford Golf Course, Jimenez tied for ninth with a 3-under 210 (68-70-72).
"Noemi had another solid performance, even though she did not have her best ball striking in the last two rounds," said ASU head coach Melissa Luellen. Â "Her attitude and belief in herself to make something happen is so strong! Her shortgame truly kept her in the top 10."
Sixth-ranked Southern California shared the team title with No. 4 Stanford. The Trojans and the Cardinal edged out No. 10 UCLA by one stroke, both finishing with a 15-under 837 through 54 holes. The Bruins’ Bronte Law finished on top for the third-straight day, taking home the individual title with an 8-under 205. The Sun Devils recorded their first top-10 finish of the season, nabbing 10th place with a 19-over 871 (288-293-290).       Â
"As a team we have work to continue to get better every day and every tournament," said Luellen of the team's 10th place finish. Â
Once again, freshman Roberta Liti improved her score from the previous round. After posting a 73 and a 72 in the first two rounds, Liti golfed an even par 71 on Sunday. Through 54 holes, Liti was 3-over 216 (73-72-71), tying her for 31st.
After struggling in Saturday’s round, sophomore Monica Vaughn got her groove back on Sunday. Her final round 71 gave her a tournament total of 6-over 219 (71-77-71), tying her for 47th.Â
Senior Emilie Alonso got off to a slow start, carding a double bogey on hole 10 to kick of the final round. Alonso did not find her rhythm until the front nine, where she was 1-under. With a three-round total of 13-over 226 (76-74-76), Alonso finished in 65th place.
Rounding out the Sun Devil lineup is sophomore Saki Iida. Iida improved her score from the second round, shooting a 5-over 76 on Sunday. Iida tied for 78th with a 19-over 232 (76-80-76).Â
Next up, the Sun Devils compete in the Pac-12 Preview at the Nanea Golf Course in Kohala, Hawai’i. The tournament will take place Nov. 3-4.    Â
