Vanessa Watkins tied for second with a 78 and Elly Carlson was fourth at 82 on a hot Monday as SBCC captured its second straight WSC women's golf tourney at the Santa Barbara Golf Club.

Elle Gaston, the No. 6 player in the Vaquero lineup, tied for fifth at 83 while Stephanie Farouze and Lauren Calvin tied for ninth with 86s.

The Vaqueros topped the six-team field with 329 strokes on the par-72, 5,535-yard course. Canyons was 15 shots back at 344, followed by Citrus (351) and Moorpark (366). The Vaqueros are 10-0 in conference and 22-1 for the season.

JoJo Roecker of Canyons was the medalist at 1-over 73.

"The course played tough and we didn't have our best day," said SBCC coach Chuck Melendez. "It was hot and humid out there and fatigue may have been a factor. We still have a lot of work to do."

The Vaqueros will play in WSC No. 3 on Monday at Antelope Valley CC.
