Fresh off last week's tournament victory, the Barton Community College women's golf team finished runner-up Tuesday afternoon in Wentzville, Missouri, in the Crossroads of America Invitational held at The Golf Club of Wentzville.
Leading the eight team tournament field by five after an opening team score of 315, Barton slipped down after a 323 to finish at 70-over 638 while Iowa Western Community College surged to the top with a 312 Tuesday score to take the title by six strokes.
In addition to the team at the top of the board after Monday's score posting, Mathanee Pandee's opening 74 had the freshman tied for the lead but like the team, struggled in the final round with an 83 to fall back into a sixth place tie at 15-over 157 for the tournament.
Pandee was joined in the top ten of the forty-four entrant field by Getsemani Carlos Lopez in climbing one spot on Tuesday with a 78 to compile a two-day 16-over 158.
Tying for the 12th spot with a 19-over 161 were two Cougars as Mai Intanant knocked a stroke off of her opening day total firing an 80 on Tuesday while individualist Paige Barnes dipped outside of the top ten following a 77 with a second day 84.
Ady Crough began the day tied with Lopez for ninth following their 80 cardings to slide down to 14th with a closing 82 in finishing at 20-over 162.
Mia Trousdale's rounds of 81 and 83 placed tied for 15th at 22-over 164 with Barton's other individualist Madison Peters dropped six spots to 21st at 29-over 171 with 82 and 89 rounds.
Barton's next action comes October 7 as the Cougars compete in the two-day Blue Devil Fall Classic held at Dub's Dread Golf Course in Kansas City, Kansas.
