SCHENECTADY, N.Y. \u2013 Sophomore Iyene Essien<\/a> carded the fifth-lowest round in program history with a two-over-par 74 to take individual medalist honors at the Union Spring Invitational, held on a blustery Saturday at the Schenectady Municipal Golf Course.

\nAs a team, Union carded its second-lowest round of the season on Saturday, shooting a 328 to finish one stroke back of SUNY Cortland (327) in second place and 14 shots behind first-place Ithaca College (314) on a day with plenty of good scoring.

\nEssien’s 74 was good for a four-stroke victory over a trio of Ithaca golfers at 78, carding dual nines of 37 to post her fourth individual victory and seventh top-five finish in eight events so far this season. The sophomore had one birdie and one double bogey in a very steady nine, then came in with two bogies and one birdie to clinch the win.

\nSophomore Carinna Anastasio<\/a> and senior Shea White<\/a> both finished in the top-10 as well on Saturday. Anastasio carded an 82, helped by a pair of birdies on the par-three 3rd and par-three 17th that matched Essien for most birdies in the field. White finished one stroke back with an 83, thanks to no holes higher than bogey on the day.

\nFirst-year Emma Doherty<\/a> shot an 89 and sophomore Ella Golas<\/a> finished with a 92 to round out Union’s scoring quintet.

\nFirst-year Claire Giletta<\/a> carded her best score of the season playing as an individual, shooting a round of 85. Senior Delaney Fox<\/a> posted her best round of the spring season with a 98, while classmate Emily Evans<\/a> shot a 110.
\n\u00a0
\nUnion will finish the spring season next weekend at the Liberty League Championships, held at Teugega Country Club in Rome on Friday and Saturday.
