DUKE UNIVERSITY NEWS RELEASE
BATON ROUGE, Louisiana – Boosted by back-to-back under-par rounds Friday and Saturday, the top-seeded and fourth-ranked Duke University women’s golf team placed fourth overall at the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional on its way to advancing to the NCAA Championship for the 28th time in school history.
The Blue Devils registered rounds of one-under, 287, and three-under, 285, over the final two days to finish with a six-over-par, 870, on their way to placing fourth overall at the 6,285-yard, par 72 University Club.  
Florida and South Carolina tied for first with a 54-hole ledger of 857, while Washington (863), Duke (870), Oregon (882) and Brigham Young (884) also advanced to the NCAA Championship at Eugene, Oregon from May 20 to 25..
The Blue Devils placed three golfers in the top seven of the individual listing, which was the most by any team in the field.  Junior Sandy Choi was tied third at three-under-par , while freshman Virginia Elena Carta and sophomore Leona Maguire were tied seventh at one-under.  South Carolina’s Katelyn Dambaugh won the individual title with a nine-under, 207.
Maguire, who hails from Cavan, Ireland, turned in her team-high sixth top 10 finish of the season with rounds of 73, 70 and 72 for a one-under, 215.  She registered three birdies on the front nine, but also had two bogeys on No. 2 and No. 4 due to missing the fairway off the tee.  Maguire closed the front nine by sticking her approach to one foot for birdie.
After missing the fairway again on No. 10 and No. 14, she suffered bogeys, but closed the day by sinking a one-foot putt on No. 18 to finish with a 72.  Maguire hit 10 fairways, 13 greens and had 31 putts.
In two NCAA regional appearances, Maguire has placed first and tied seventh overall.  She now owns 14 rounds of even or under par on the season to lead the Blue Devils..
Leona's Curtis Cup team-mate, Charlotte Thomas (Washington) finished third with scores of 73, 67 and 71 for 211, four behind the winner. 
A third GB and I team member, Meghan MacLaren (Florida International) finished 18th on 218 (72-74-72)
