Although the New Mexico women’s golf team got a stroke worse each round, the Lobos were still able to pull off one its better performances in the Branch Law Firm/Dick McGuire Invitational.

New Mexico finished play Tuesday with a 2-over 290, for a three-round total of 3-over 867, good enough for third place, nine strokes behind champion Brigham Young and three behind first-day leader San Jose State.

New Mexico State finished 15th among 16 teams, carding a 44-over 908.

“I don’t think we’ve finished this high in a really long time, and I’m very proud of the way they handled themselves,” said UNM coach Jill Trujillo.
