HERSHEY, Pa. -- Brooke Graham (Carlisle, Pa./Boiling Springs) shot a 9-over par 80 to secure a second-place finish as the Kutztown University women's golf team kicked off its spring season with a runner-up finish at the Elizabethtown Spring Invitational Thursday afternoon.

Coming off a strong fall, the Golden Bears earned their fourth runner-up team finish in seven tournaments this season.

Graham birdied the par 4 seventh and collected seven pars in her team-low round. The sophomore from Carlisle, Pa., finished three shots back of Brooke Smith's winning 77 (+6). Graham has played in five events this season, totaling a victory, four top three finishes and five top fives.

Rhi Stutz (Prescott, Wisc./Prescott) and Brooke Prindiville (Hawthorn Woods, Ill./Lake Zurich) registered top 15 finishes with rounds of 93 and 94, respectively. Stutz made three pars in taking 13th overall in the 32-player field, while Prindiville sunk four pars on her way to 14th-place.

Kutztown also got a par each from Gabby Cohen (Jeffersonville, N.Y./Sullivan West) (103) and Grace Klements (Little Egg Harbor Township, N.J./Pinelands Regional) (104).

Graham was the only non-Catholic University player in the top five. Behind medalist Smith and Lauren Lombardo, who tied for second, the Cardinals cruised to the team title by 47 shots with a 323 (+39). Kutztown finished with 370 (+86), 54 shots clear of host Elizabethtown (424) for second. The Blue Jays were followed by Lebanon Valley (447) and Juniata (449).
