Leina Kim continues to reap honors for the Colorado State University-Pueblo ThunderWolves after topping yesterday\u2019s Mustang Women\u2019s Fall Intercollegiate at the Coldwater Golf Club in Phoenix, Ariz. (CSU-Pueblo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nResetting the scoring record in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) golf tournament is turning into a habit for Leina Kim.<\/p>\n

It was only a week ago that Kim made headlines in the 2014 RMAC season after shattering her own scoring record. And the 22-year-old did it again.<\/p>\n

Kim, according to the Colorado State University-Pueblo ThunderWolves website, fired a closing 5-under 67 to rule the Western New Mexico University-sponsored Mustang Women\u2019s Fall Intercollegiate on Tuesday at the Coldwater Golf Club in Phoenix, Ariz.<\/p>\n

The Saipan native tallied a 36-hole score of 11-under 133 for a 10-stroke win over Allison Howarth of St. Mary\u2019s University-Texas and California Baptist University\u2019s Marvi Monsalve, who ended up tied for second to third.<\/p>\n

Howarth, who was only two shots back at 4-under 68 in the first round, registered a 3-over 75 in the second round, while Monslave logged in 2-under 68 to both end up at 1-under 143.<\/p>\n

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University\u2019s Lauren Kruszewski, who opened with a 3-under 69, ended with a 3-over 75 for a two-day total of even-par 144 at solo fourth place.<\/p>\n

Holding a slim two-stroke lead entering play on Tuesday, Kim tallied five birdies and no bogeys to pull away for the 10-shot victory.<\/p>\n

Kim shattered her own scoring record of 142, which she set in last year\u2019s RMAC #1 Tournament at the Desert Hawk Golf Course in Pueblo West, Colo.<\/p>\n

It was also her third straight win after topping last week\u2019s Colorado Christian Invitational where she recorded a 4-under par 140 at the Raccoon Creek Golf Course in Littleon, Colo. She started the season with a win in the Samuel Proa Insurance Lady Wolf Pack Invitational.<\/p>\n

Cal Baptist (587) ruled the team event, while Point Loma (600) and Colorado Mesa (601) settled for second and third, respectively. Western Washington came in fourth with 602, while first-round leader St. Mary\u2019s ended up tied with Sonoma State with their identical 603s.<\/p>\n

The CSU-Pueblo junior had a tournament-best 12 birdies with one bogey in the Mustang Women\u2019s but her impressive game failed to rub off on her teammates as the ThunderWolves finished eighth overall with a two-day total of 613 (302, 311).<\/p>\n

Julie Sanchez, Samantha Geisick, Natasha Navarro, and Megan McCutcheon failed to get their respective games going.<\/p>\n

Sanchez finished tied at 18th with a 6-over 150, Geisick and Navarro had a two-day haul of 21-over 165 to share 68th place, while McCutcheon carded 34-over 178 to finish solo 81st out of 84 female golfers. <\/p>\n

CSU-Pueblo will be among the visiting teams in Grand Junction, Colo. to compete in the RMAX #2 Tournament set at the Bookcliff Country Club from Sept. 29 to 30. (Jon Perez)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
