HENDERSON, Nev. – The Nevada women's golf team closed out its fall season with a ninth place finish at the Las Vegas Collegiate Showdown.
 
The Wolf Pack turned in its best team score of the tournament on Tuesday with a 2-over round of 290. It marked the Pack's lowest team score of the season as well. Nevada finished the event at 10-over par overall to earn a top 10 finish. No. 29 Oregon State held on to the team lead and captured the tournament title at 26-under, four shots better than runner-up Tulsa.
 
Senior Chaithra Katamneni jumped 19 spots on the individual leaderboard thanks to a 3-under 69 in the final round, the best round by a Pack player this week. Katamneni played a near perfect round of golf, with just one bogey on her scorecard and four birdies to go along with 13 pars. The round of 69 is a season-low for Katamneni and helped her finish in a tie for 21^st place at even par for the tournament.
 
Freshman Victoria Gailey also tied with her teammate in 21^st place, finishing at even par overall. Gailey produced back-to-back rounds of 71 before shooting a 74 in the final round to bring her score to even par. She finishes the fall season with a scoring average of 72.75, which is on pace to set the single season program record.
 
Elsewhere for the Pack, junior Jenny Krause carded a second consecutive even par round to finish at 2-over for the event and in a tie for 31^st. Fellow junior Katy Rutherford tied her season-low round of 75 on Tuesday and ended her run in a tie for 64^th in the 90-player field. Rounding out the Pack lineup is freshman Kate Choi who finished tied for 70^th in her collegiate debut.
 
Lorena Tseng of Tulsa fired a final round 65 to earn individual medalist honors by two shots over runner-up Brigitte Thibault of Fresno State.
