Janangelo tied for medalist honors, both shooting seven under par
for the invitational.
Junior Charlotte Mayorkas led the way once more for the Bruins,
finishing in a tie for sixth place at three under par.
Mayorkas’ tournament did not include an over-par round, as

consecutive tournament in which Mayorkas has posted a top-10
finish.

tournament, landing her in a tie for 15th place. Kim’s
tournament included a first round one under par 71.

tied for 10th place at two under par, struggled in her final round
with a five over par 77. Mathews still posted a top-25 finish,
tying for 24th place at three over par.
