Junior Cassie Pantelas’ five-over-par, 74, performance on Sunday propelled her into a second-place individual finish at the 2017 Big East Championship. The Pirates finished fifth as a team.
Pantelas headed into the Tournament’s final round as the field leader but her struggles on the front nine proved to be too deep of a hole to fully recover from. Through the first three holes, the Pirate captain was one-under-par but she would go on to double-bogey both the fourth and ninth holes. Pantelas picked up the effort on the back-nine tallying birdies on holes 11 and 17. Pantelas tied Georgetown’s Lauren Gros at six-over-par for the Tournament giving her a share of second place, four strokes behind Tournament champion Lauren Tibbets of Butler.
