KINDER, La. -- Julie Aime made her college golf debut one she will always remember.
Not only did the true freshman help Lamar to the team title but her final two rounds of 73 and 71 allowed her to capture medalist honors with a 54-hole score of 224 (8-over).
"I was really happy with the way we played near the end of Monday and all day Tuesday," LU head coach Brian White said. "The girls dealt with the frost delays both days (of the tournament) and gave us something to build on for the remainder of the spring season.
"The fact that we had to count an 85 made this a little sweeter."
Both days saw the par 72 tract at Koasati Pines saturated as a result of frost delays that forced the competitors to play lift-clean-and-place, in addition to lengthening the 6,025-yard layout to its maximum yardage.
Aime, who enrolled at Lamar last month and is from just outside Nice, France, opened the event with an uninspiring 80 before her even-par play down the strech gave her a three-stroke victory over Balbina Guajardo of Houston Baptist.
