FROM THE GOLFWEEK WEBSITE
Oklahoma City University won its sixth NAIA Women's National Championship on Friday, winning by 12 shots at the Wilderness Ridge Golf Club in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Oklahoma City, spearheaded by Jessica Schiele (pictured) from Grimsby England, playing in her last US College tournament after four years as a student at OK City, shot 72-over 1,224, besting runner-up and defending national champion British Columbia.
Schiele won the individual honours by five shots from a big field after shooting eight-over-par 295 for the 72-hole championship. She becomes the fourth national title winner in Oklahoma City University golfing history.
Jessica led by eight shots going into the final round and she was able to win despite double bogeys at the short fourth, fifth and 11th.
The Lincolnshire lass, who has had an outstanding four years on the US women's college golf circuit, did have birdies at the sixth, 14th, 16th and 18th in halves of 40-38.
Her earlier scores were 75, 68 and 74. It was that four-under-par second round that lifted her clear of the field.
Oklahoma City team-mate Elia Folch finished runner-up on 300 with scores of 75, 78, 74 and 73.
Mariah Montoya (Lubbock Christian University) finished another four shots back in third place on 304 with four rounds of 76.
Oklahoma City (1224) won the team title by 12 shots from runners-up British Columbia (1236) with Embry-Riddle (Florida) third on 1244 in a field of 17 teams.
