Summerhays leads BYU to fifth-place finish.

Sophomore Carrie Summerhays shot a season low round of 71 to finish second overall at the Bay Area Classic while helping her team to a fifth-place finish on Tuesday.

"Carrie played with more confidence than she has all season," BYU head coach Gary Howard said. "I think as a team we struggled that first day, but they all seemed to come back with more confidence that second round."

The Cougars, who got off to a slow eighth-place start shooting 322 the first round, seemed to shake off the winter cobwebs the second round. BYU shot a 310 the second day jumping from eighth place to fifth place overall.

Fifteenth-ranked Pepperdine won the tournament by 19 strokes followed by San Diego State and California. Summer Pierce was the second leading Cougar placing 33rd after shooting a second round score of 76.

BYU's next tournament is March 6-8 at the Spartan Invitational in Monterrey, California. This will be a very important tournament for the Cougars as they will be facing four top-20 teams.

"The top half of the field is really strong," Howard said. "We need to get off to a good start and play well against Hawaii. It is one of those teams we need to do well against to qualify for regionals. I think the attitude of this team is good and we should come out and have a good tournament."
