Junior Heather Pothier (Truro, Nova Scotia) was the runner-up at 167 as all four Blackbird golfers finished in the top ten. As a team, LIU won by 18 strokes over second-place Mount St. Mary's. It was the Blackbirds' first team victory of the season. Desjardins shot a second-round 78 to take home the four-stroke victory. Her second round total was six strokes better than any other round of the tournament. Last season, the Canadian won the Fairfield Invitational (3/13-14) and Pothier also finished runner-up in that event, four strokes behind Desjardins. Sophomore Emma Lister (Manchester, England) finished tied for fourth position at 176, while classmate Rochelle Brown (Calgary, Alberta) closed in ninth place at 186. The Blackbirds conclude their fall season on Nov. 2-5 at the Virginia Beach Intercollegiate, hosted by Old Dominion University.
