PALOS VERDES -- After three rounds of play at the Northrop Grumman Regional Challenge, the tournament ended Wednesday with BYU tied for 11th place.

"There were a lot of good things happening out on the course today," said BYU head coach Sue Nyhus. "We just need to put it all together and make better shots."

Junior Natalia Jimenez and sophomore Daphne Vines led the Cougars throughout the tournament, finishing tied for 28th place with a score of 229.

Senior Ashley Childers had a strong third round, shooting a 2-over-par 73, and finishing the tournament tied for 32nd place.

Nyhus looks forward to the golf team improving their play in the next couple of weeks.

"We are capable of playing better, and next tournament we will," she said. "The next few weeks will be a good time to practice and prepare for Arizona."

The Northrop Grumman Regional Challenge consisted of 84 competitors from 15 teams. The overall individual winner was Natalie Sheary of Wake Forest who shot 72-71-72-215. UCLA won the tournament with a team score of 24-over-par.

The Cougars' spring play will continue when they travel to Tucson for the Arizona Wildcat Invitational February 25 and 26.
