DELMAR, N.Y. – In only her third collegiate tournament, freshman Marta Aguilar (Casaras Malaga, Spain) claimed the individual co-championship and lifted the Seton Hall women's golf team to the team title at the UAlbany Great Danes Invitational on Sunday.

Aguliar started the day three strokes behind a pair of individual leaders, but had two birdies, 10 pars and an eagle on the par-5, No. 9 hole, to fuel a 1-over-par, 71, in the final round. Her remarkable second-round performance enabled her tie Boston University's Christy Chen for the individual championship.

Aguilar is the first Seton Hall women's golfer to claim at least a share of a tournament's individual crown since Mia Kness won the William & Mary Intercollegiate on March 19, 2019.

Seton Hall had the second-best round in the field today, an 18-over-par, 298, which enabled it to jump over two teams to win the team title by just one stroke over Boston University. For the tournament, The Hall was 41-over-par with a 303-298-601. The Pirates' lone BIG EAST competition, St. John's, finished fifth, 10 strokes off the lead.

It's The Hall's first team victory since taking home the championship at the St. John's Invitational on April 11, 2023.

Senior Ana Sarrias Pro (Cadiz, Spain) was even-par on the back nine to power a 4-over-par, 74, in round two. She collected her fourth career top-10 finish by tying for eighth place with an 11-over-par, 77-74-151.

Freshman Amelie Gras (Elancourt, France) was consistent throughout the two-day event, and shot a second-consecutive 5-over-par, 75. For the tournament, she tied for sixth place with a 10-over-par, 75-75-150.

Junior Anne-Sofie Ekman (Copenhagen, Denmark) had 12 pars on Sunday to fuel an 8-over-par, 78. She too, was consisted throughout the weekend, finishing with a 16-over-par, 78-78-156.

Sophomore Kasumi Tran (Swansea, Wales) rounded out the Pirates' lineup with a 10-over-par, 80, in round two. For the event, she was 17-over-par with a 77-80-157.
