UVA’s Jaclyn LaHa claimed her second consecutive individual victory with her top finish at the Windy City Collegiate Classic on Tuesday as the Cavaliers tied for second in the team standings.

After posting an impressive opening two rounds (67-72), LaHa followed up with another 4-under 67 on a bogey-free final round that featured an eagle on the par-4 10th hole.

The team combined to shoot 10-over 862, four strokes off Stanford, which claimed the team title.

“I am very happy with how I finished in such an amazing field,” LaHa said. “The conditions were difficult, but I tried to stay very patient and disciplined with my shots. I just tried to give myself as many birdie opportunities as possible and play simple golf. I am also very proud of my team for finishing second. We prepared a lot for this tournament and just playing with them pushes me to be better.”

Virginia will be back in action Oct. 16-18 when the Cavaliers travel to the Stanford Intercollegiate.
