Siena Women's Golf senior Sara Riso shot even, 72 at the second round of the Sacred Heart Spring Invitational Monday to hold on to her top spot and earn individual medalist honors. The finish, coupled with two other Saints concluding play inside the top-10, allowed the team to finish second overall with +60, 636, for their second top-3 and fifth top-10 result of the year.
 
The Saints were beat out by the Pioneers on the second round of action, who rallied for the low team round of the tournament, a +8, 296, to earn the team title. Siena beat out MAAC foes Fairfield (+97, 673) and Monmouth (+112, 688), who landed in third and sixth, respectively.
 
The co-captain edged out host Sacred Heart's Hana Bowman by a stroke to take home her second top finish of the 2018-19 season and the third of her career, moving her into a tie for the third-most wins among individuals in program history. The Hamburg, New York native's 36-hole mark of +2, 146 also giver her four of the top-5 two-round low scores in program history and is good for fifth overall.
 
Riso was joined by sophomores Grace Cuttone (fifth) and Abigail Chai-Onn (eighth) in earning top-10 finishes at the par-72, 5895-yard course at the Great River Golf Club in Milford, CT. Cuttone shot +12, 156 to earn her highest finish of the year, while Chai-Onn went +18, 162. Freshman Grace Cuttone took +29, 173 to take 19th, while junior Marisa Fiorina finished 21st after shooting +32, 176.
 
Following the team's best finish of the spring season to-date, Siena will have one more regular season competition before heading to Florida for the 2019 MAAC Championships at the end of the month. The Saints will take on UAlbany for the second edition of the Crosstown Challenge on April 13 at the Wolferts Roost Country Club.
