Vaqueros take third in a close WSC tourney No. 2

Freshman Kristin Discipulo shot 79 on Monday in WSC No. 2 and SBCC took third in a tightly bunched women’s golf field at the Santa Barbara Golf Club.

Nicole Bullemer had 81 and Haley True shot 82 for the Vaqueros, who totaled 326 to finish five strokes behind the winner, Canyons. Glendale was second at 325 and the top four teams were separated by just eight shots.

Canyons and Glendale are first in the WSC standings at 7-1, followed by SBCC and Bakersfield at 3-5. Malea Miller of Bakersfield was the medalist at 72.

“The door was open to do something and we didn’t get it done,“ said Vaquero coach Chuck Melendez. “We had a couple of big holes that hurt us on the back nine.

“We’re very close to breaking through in a conference that’s extremely strong.”

Bakersfield will host WSC No. 3 on Monday at RiverLakes Ranch..
