CANTON, Mass. (September 24, 2024) – All four of Stonehill College’s scorers carded rounds of 80 or better to pace the Skyhawks up two positions in the team standings as play concluded in the final round of the 2024 Red Bandanna Intercollegiate, hosted by Boston College, on the 6,137-yard, par-72 layout at Blue Hills Country Club today.

Stonehill finished off the three rounds over two days with a 312-team score, marking the third-lowest single day team score in program history, for a ninth place team finish at 959 (329-318-312) – three strokes shy of the program’s lowest three-round tournament score (956) at the Northeast Conference Championships last spring. Junior co-captain Jaelyn DeBoise led Stonehill’s three rounds in the 70s today with a season-best score of 76 to vault up 17 spots on the individual leaderboard with a three-round score of 247 (90-81-76) for 54^th place overall in the field of 84 golfers – improving her score by 14 strokes over the course of the three rounds.

Sophomore Carol Pignato finished 21^st overall after her third-straight round in the 70s posting a score of 79 today for a three-round score of 234 (78-77-79). She added three more birdies on the par-4 second, fifth and tenth holes today to finish her three rounds with ten birdies overall. Pignato was as high as ninth place on the leaderboard, playing the first five holes of her back nine (course front), but three-straight bogeys saw her dip to her final position in the strong field.

Stonehill carded 13 birdies in all as a team today, with all five Skyhawks having at least two, including three from DeBoise in her team-low round on the fifth, par-5 ninth and par-4 11^th. Sophomore Helen Brodahl also recorded a trio of birdies today on the par-4 third and par-5 12^th and 18^th holes, for a season-best final round 77 to move five spots up the final leaderboard to 32^nd at 238 (82-79-77).

Host Boston College (287-300-296=883) took the team title, extending its lead over second place Quinnipiac University (315-303-311=929) to 46 shots. Boston University (309-316-305=930) moved up two spots in the team standings as well to finish third. Stonehill’s 312 team score today allowed the Skyhawks to moved past Siena University (318-325-320=963) and fellow NEC member LIU (327-319-319=965) – only four strokes shy of eighth place UAlbany (318-317-320=955).

BC swept the top three spots on the individual leaderboard on its way to the team title, led by medalist Cynthia Zhang with a three-over-par score of 219 (68-75-76) after her four-over 76 today. Teammate Angel Lin was just a stroke behind at four-over-par 220 (72-76-72) after an even par round, while fellow Eagle Emily Boehrer followed in third at seven-over-par (69-73-81=223).
