SBCC sophomore Stephanie Farouze shot 83 on Monday and tied for fifth in WSC women's golf tournament No. 5 at Elkins Ranch GC in Fillmore.

Lauren Calvin tied for eighth at 87 and Corina Garcia tied for 11th with a 90 on the 5.700-yard course that closes with back-to-back par-5s.

"The course played a little longer than what we're used to," said SBCC coach Chuck Melendez. "I don't think there's one of our players who felt they played well today."

Canyons won its fifth straight WSC event with 325 strokes. The Vaqueros were 36 strokes behind in second (361) and Bakersfield finished third (385).

Georgia Shevitt of Moorpark claimed medalist honors with a 1-over 73.

Canyons is unbeaten in the WSC (25-0) and holds a five-game lead over the Vaqueros (20-5).

The Vaqueros will play in WSC No. 6 on Monday at Antelope Valley CC in Palmdale.
