MELBOURNE, FLA. – Senior Ludovica Busetto (Padova, Italy) fired a 1-under-par, 71, in Monday's final round to lift the Seton Hall women's golf team to an eighth-place team finish at the Columbia Classic.

Busetto had five birdies and nine pars to vault 20 spots up the individual leader board. She tied for 20^th among 80 individual golfers with a 4-over-par, 77-71-148, for the tournament. Today was her second career sub-par round.

As a team, the Pirates put forth a third straight strong performance despite less than optimal conditions. Yesterday's second round was canceled due to winds that topped 40 miles an hour at times. Despite the wind, The Hall was actually playing well through 13 holes before the round was canceled. Today, the Pirates shot a 15-over-par, 303, shaving five strokes off their first-round effort. Seton Hall finished in eighth place, with a 35-over-par, 308-303-611.

Texas Tech won the team title at 5-under-par. St. John's, Seton Hall's lone BIG EAST competition, finished 22 strokes behind the Pirates.

Graduate student Sarah Fouratt (Santa Maria, Calif.) shot a 6-over-par, 78, in today's round. For the tournament, she tied for 41^st place with a 9-over-par, 75-78-153.

Sophomore Ana Sarrias Pro (Cadiz, Spain) shaved five strokes off her first-round score thanks to three birdies and nine pars. She shot a 3-over-par, 75, on Monday to finish the tournament tied for 49^th with an 11-over-par, 80-75-155.

Tied with Sarrias Pro, Ginevra Zavagli (Rome, Italy) also finished 49^th after an 11-over-par, 76-79-155.

Freshman Anne-Sofie Ekman (Copenhagen, Denmark) rounded out the Pirates' lineup during the first tournament of the spring with a 30-over-par, 82-92-174.

Competing as an individual, freshman Lara Todorovic (Belgrade, Serbia) finished with a 25-over-par, 88-81-169.

THE COURSE:
Upon visiting Duran Golf Club, golfers will find rolling terrain — characteristic of a links-style layout — accompanied by mild mounding around the large, undulating greens; sparkling lakes and ponds; sweeping doglegs; native landscaping; grasses and palm trees. Duran is located near the Atlantic Ocean, so the coastal breezes can add great variety to your game here. The par fives can be stout three-shot tests or tempting "go-in-two" holes.
Any golf course can say that it is unique or plays to every skill level, but Duran Golf Club has definitely set itself apart in its ability to appeal to the very talented golfer, as well as the shorter hitters or those still developing their game. Players at Duran are always amazed at the loving care and attention we give to our greens that putt fast and true. You'll also love the quality of our tees, fairways and roughs.

THE FIELD:
In addition to Seton Hall and host Columbia, the field includes 12 other schools: Albany, Boston U, Dartmouth, Notre Dame, Old Dominion, Penn State, Princeton, Richmond, Texas Tech, Tulsa and Youngstown State. Fellow BIG EAST competitor, St. John's, is also in the field.

Teams will play five golfers and count the four lowest scores per round.
