Box Score San Antonio, TX – The Tiger women notched their second
consecutive team win in humid, muddy conditions, at the University
of the Incarnate Word Invitational on Saturday, led by a strong 1-2
punch from Rosemary Steup and
Michelle
Oberndorf. The Trinity men finished third as a team behind
Texas A&M Kingsville and host University of the Incarnate Word,
despite a strong showing from the Junior duo of Francisco
Escobedo and Sal Perdomo, who
finished 4th and 6th, respectively.
After Steup (19:43) and Oberndorf (20:04), who finished
2nd and 3rd individually behind a strong
performance by UIW freshman Amanda Bishop (19:43), the Tigers put
four more runners into the top 15, with first years Jessica Pagano
(20:39), Colleen
Adams (21:13), and Autumn Kervella
(21:16) rounding out the top five scoring positions. Despite
holding out usual top 5 finishers Maddie Murphy and Vanessa Moreno,
the squad handily defeated the host UIW Cardinals by a score of 39
to 48.
After another solid finish from Escobedo (27:45) and Perdomo
(28:04), Sophomore Gerardo Hernandez
(28:54) made a move into the Tiger top 3 with an 11th
place finish. Junior Mark Greene (28:59)
followed close behind in 15th place, with first year Brandon
Douglas (30:20) rounding out the top 5 with a 30th
place finish.
The Tigers will return to action in one week at the NCAA
Division III Pre-National meet, hosted by the University of
Wisconsin at Oshkosh.
