BU's Hanako Kawasaki: Ties for 2nd.

There was plenty for tournament host Boston College to feel good about, ditto for Boston University, but in the end the women golfers from Yale took home the greatest amount of joy after two days of brilliant sun-splashed weather at Blue Hill Country Club in Canton.

Led by the individual winner, Ami Gianchandani, Yale held on to edge the Eagles in the Boston College Intercollegiate, scoring 884 to BC’s 887. BU finished third at 899, while Penn State was fourth in the 15-team tournament, at 903.

Gianchandani’s 73-68-75 for level-par 216 was good for the individual title, but a pair of Terriers – senior Hanako Kawasaki of Vietnam (72-76-72) and FLair Kuan of China (73-71-76) finished in a three-way tie for second, at 4-over 220 with Yale’s Alexis Kim (71-76-73).

Then came a small parade of Eagles as coach Drew Kayser’s team placed four in the top 10. Bibilani Liu of Cupertino, Calif., had the low third round, a 3-under 69, to finished in a share of fifth at 221, while Canice Screene of England (72-78-73) and Nathalie Irlbacher of Germany (74-74-75) were in a tie for eighth and Angel Lin of British Columbia (74-77-73) was T-10.

Ada Pan, a freshman from China, was the leading scorer (231) for Merrimack, which finished 11th, while Tate Hadges (228), a sophomore from North Easton, led Holy Cross, which was 12th.
