ANNAPOLIS, MD. – Senior Ginevra Zavagli (Rome, Italy) registered her second career top-5 finish and led the Seton Hall women's golf team to a 10^th place finish at the Navy Fall Invitational on Sunday.

Zavagli had three birdies in route to a 4-over-par, 76, on Sunday, the second straight day she's had the top Seton Hall round. For the tournament, she tied for fifth among 88 individual golfers with a 7-over-par, 75-76-151. Navy's Mara Hirtle won the individual title at 2-over-par.

In addition to being her second career top-5 finish, it's her sixth career top-10 effort.

Collectively, The Hall slid one spot to a 10^th place finish despite shooting one stroke better on Sunday. The Pirates fired a 32-over-par, 320, in round two. For the tournament, they were 65-over-par with a 321-320-641. Host Navy also took the team title at 31-over-par.

Junior Ana Sarrias Pro (Cadiz, Spain) finished only one stroke behind Zavagli today, using a birdie and 12 pars to fuel a 5-over-par, 77. For the tournament, she tied for 22^nd place with a 12-over-par, 79-77-156.

Renee Rane (New Delhi, India) had three rough holes which dampened an otherwise solid round. The freshman shot an 11-over-par, 83, on Sunday. For the two-day event, Rane tied for 39^th with a 17-over-par, 78-83-161.

The same can be said for sophomore Anne-Sofie Ekman (Copenhagen, Denmark) on Sunday. She had two triple-bogeys in an otherwise decent round. For the tournament, Ekman was 29-over-par with an 89-84-173.

THE COURSE:
The Naval Academy golf course was realized in 1938, when the U. S. Navy purchased the surrounding land on Greenbury Point in order to expand their radio communications facility. The acquired land included the eighteen-hole golf course developed in 1928 by the Greenbury Point Yacht and Country Club, but had become abandoned during the Great Depression. Over the next two years, the Navy restored nine of the eighteen original holes and in 1940, the Naval Academy Golf Club opened for play. In 1942, William Flynn was contracted to design and develop a course composed around the existing nine holes. Flynn's selection was an ideal choice, given his uncanny ability to blend manufactured features with the natural landscape.

After two years, Flynn's redesigned Naval Academy course debuted in 1944. The finished course included eleven holes south of Greenbury Point Road and seven holes north of the main road, and incorporated the rolling terrain of inlets and surrounding tidal rivers of the Chesapeake Bay, along with views of the Bay Bridge in the distance. Further expansion of the radio facility eliminated two of the holes south of the road and two holes, the present numbers 13 and 14 were added. This completed the layout that exists today with the front nine south of the road and the back nine north of the road. Flynn's design emphasized his strategy of "preferred line of play" in which the golfer is encouraged to place his shot with thought for advantage on the subsequent shot.
