ROUND ROCK, Texas -- Kinley Pessel captured her fourth win of the year as LeTourneau women's golf finished second in the Linda Lowery Invitational title at the par-72 Teravista Golf Club on Tuesday.

LeTourneau finished 59-over 635 (310-325) in the 36-hole tournament, finishing just five strokes shy of the winner, East Texas Baptist. The YellowJackets were one of seven SCAC teams in the tournament, finishing 14 strokes ahead of third-place St. Thomas.

Pessel carded an 8-over (76-76) on the 36-hole tournament. On Monday, the junior collected two birdies, shot a 1-over 37 back-nine, and at one point recorded par of better on 11 straight holes. Pessel finished with four birdies after another strong performance on Tuesday to clinch the medalist honors.

Emerson Swanner sat T1 after her round on Monday, carding a 4-over 76, which featured two eagles. After knocking in her first on hole 11, Swanner chipped in her second eagle on hole one, etching her name into the LeTourneau record books. Swanner becomes the first player in program history to record two eagles in the same season -- let alone tournament or round -- and with three career eagles, now has the most in program history.

Swanner finished T12 with an 18-over 162 (76-86) on the tournament, ninth among SCAC competitors.

Hannah Newell earned a seventh-place finish with her 16-over 160 (81-79). Newell garnered two birdies in the tournament and finished with a strong back-nine on Tuesday, posting a 1-over 37 to end the tournament.

Calli Hoesterey had a career-best tournament, finishing ninth with a 17-over 161 (77-84). Hoesterey's 76 on Monday is a career-low for the freshman, which featured a pair of birdies.

Competing as an individual, Elena Jurado earned a 16th-place finish, carding a 164 (81-83). The junior shot an even-par 36 back-nine to round out day one, and her five birdies were tied for third most in the tournament.

Halle Carr, also playing as an individual, bounced back for a 13-over 85 on Tuesday that featured two birdies. Carr posted a 173 (88-85) and finished 31st.

Lexie Cannon rounds out the LeTourneau competitors, carding a 179 (88-91).
