The UCF women's golf team's two seniors, Stephanie Connelly (Pasadena, Md.) and Mayule Tomimbang (Kissimmee, Fla.) tied with scores of 232 as UCF's top finishers at the Ping/ASU Invitational this weekend at the 6,230-yard par-72 ASU Karsten Golf Course in Tempe, Arizona.

UCF shot a 309 in Sunday's third and final round to wrap up play in 16th place with a total score of 936. No. 5 Oklahoma State's 881 was good enough for a one stroke victory over No. 9 Purdue in a loaded field that included 10 of the nation's top 25 teams.

Tomimbang was UCF's top shooter on Sunday, closing with a 76 to earn her 232 total. Connelly's 78 wrapped up a consistent run of 77-77-78 to reach her 232 for the event. Both Knights tied for 50th place overall.

Junior Victoria Tomko (Lontzen. Belgium) used a 77 on Sunday to place as the third-best Knight with a 239. Sophomore Katie Detlefsen (Eagan, Minn.) carded a 78 on Sunday, her best round of the event, to finish fourth amongst UCF while sophomore Jessy Tang (Miami, Fla.) closed with an 81.

UCF is back in action April 12-14 when the Knights head to Tulsa for the annual Conference USA Championship. Over the course of the 2008-09 season, the host Golden Hurricane is the only team in the league to place ahead of the Knights in a tournament.
