OAHU, Hawaii — Katie Dunaway shot an even-par round of 72 and Rockelle Sande added a 73 to help the Sacramento State women's golf team move up a spot and finish in sixth place at the Rainbow Wahine Invitational on Thursday.

The Hornets finished with a total of 299-301-302-902 to tie the fifth-lowest three-round score in school history. BYU, which entered the tournament ranked 34th in the nation, finished 1-under par for the tournament to win by 23 strokes. Host Hawaii and New Mexico State tied for second at 886 with Mississippi (889) and North Dakota State placing fourth and fifth, respectively.

Sande had the best individual finish among Sacramento State golfers, and was one stroke off her career best, after shooting 74-75-73-222. During the final round, the senior started with a bogey on the par-5 sixth and was 2-over after a bogey on No. 8. She birdied the par-4 ninth but returned to 2-over following a bogey on the par-5 11th. After five consecutive pars, Sande birdied the par-3 17th and then parred her last six holes.

Dunaway also started with a bogey on her first hole (No. 7). Birdies on Nos. 9 and 11 and a bogey on No. 10 left her even before she double bogeyed the par-3 12th. From there, the sophomore played her final 12 holes at 2-under with the help of birdies on the par-3 17th and fifth. Her total of 74-79-72-225 tied her for 20th in the tournament.

Sophomore Astha Madan tied for 30th overall at 76-73-78-227. Madan also bogeyed her first hole (No. 6) and despite a birdie on the par-4 10th was 4-over following nine holes. She played her final nine holes at 2-over with seven pars as well as a pair of bogeys.

Freshman Julia Becker was five strokes back of Madan and tied for 40th place at 75-78-79-232. Becker's final round consisted of a birdie on the par-4 14th, six bogeys and a double bogey. Junior Chloe Bartek completed the lineup at 78-75-81-234 to tie for 45th place. On Thursday, Bartek had a birdie (par-3 second), eight bogeys and a double bogey.

Senior Natalie Bodnar shot 74-83-74-231 and posted her lowest 54-hole total during her collegiate career. Bodnar, who was competing as an individual, tied for 38th overall. In the final round, Bodnar was 3-over through her first five holes after a double bogey on the par-3 17th and a bogey on the par-4 first. She birdied the par-4 fourth before a bogey on the par-3 fifth. Birdies on the par-4 seventh and ninth dropped her to 1-over where she remained there before a bogey on the par-3 12th.

The tournament was the final event for the Hornets during the fall portion of their season. The team will begin the spring at The Gold Rush which is hosted by Long Beach State on Feb. 22-23.
