GOODYEAR, Ariz. – The final round of the 2022 RJGA Shootout at Estrella took place Tuesday, as the Cal State East Bay women's golf team placed eighth among 15 teams in the field. The Pioneers' top finisher on the leaderboard at Golf Club of Estrella was Drishti Karumbaya, who was tied for eighth place at 2-over-par 146 (73-73).
 
Here are some of the highlights from the tournament finish for Cal State East Bay.

• Karumbaya had seven birdies of the 36 holes played.
• Mandi Granato showed the most improvement from first to second round, as she carded a 74 in the second round. She also finished with seven birdies.

 
Cal State East Bay head coach Alan Sue shared his thoughts following the team's performance in the season opening tournament. "Our women battled hard but our inability to limit compounding errors was our Achilles heel on this golf course," stated Sue. "This experience was eye opening for our new [student-athletes] and we will learn and improve moving forward. Our focus will shift to next week and preparing for the Golf Club of Dallas."

Arkansas-Fort Smith was the team champion of the tournament and Amie Taguines from UT Permian Basin was the medalist with a first place finish of 2-under-par 140. 
 
Golf Club of Dallas is where the Pioneers will compete next for the fall season, as Dallas Baptist University will host the West Regional Preview, which takes place on October 3-4.
