CALLAWASSIE ISLAND, S.C. – Junior Cassie Pantelas (Canton, Ohio) shot a 5-over-par, 77, in Sunday's final round to tie for second at the 2017 BIG EAST Championship. The Pirates finished in fifth place as a team.

Pantelas, the BIG EAST individual leader after the first and second rounds, had a front-nine that proved difficult from which to recover. The Pirate captain was 1-under-par through three holes, but double-bogeyed the fourth and ninth holes. Pantelas was fantastic on the back-nine, shooting even-par, including birdies on No. 11 and No. 17. For the tournament, she tied Georgetown's Lauren Gros at 6-over-par, four strokes behind the individual champion, Butler's Lauren Tibbets. Pantelas shot a 71-74-77-222.

Although no Pirate has won an individual BIG EAST title, Pantelas becomes the third Pirate to finish second, joining Erin McClure (2014 & 2015) and Megan Tenhundfeld (2014). As a result, she was named to the All-Tournament Team for the second straight year.

For a second straight day, the Pirates improved as a team, albeit marginally. The Hall shot a 22-over-par, 310 on Sunday to finish fifth overall. The Pirates' final three-round score was a 72-over-par with a 315-311-310-936. Georgetown won their first-ever team championship at 32-over-par, after finishing second to the Pirates the last three years. Butler placed second at 41-over-par, while St. John's placed third at 60-over-par, and Xavier was fourth at 69-over-par.

The top Pirate performer on Sunday was freshman Lizzie Win (Sylvania, Ohio), who turned in an eye-popping 1-over-par, 73. Win was spectacular, finishing her round with 10 straight pars. She had 15 pars in all, bogeys on holes No. 4 and No. 8, and a birdie on No. 6. In her first-ever BIG EAST Championship, Win finished seventh overall with an 11-over-par, 79-75-73-227.

Freshman Sammie Staudt (Coatesville, Pa.), despite a sore wrist, shaved six strokes off her second round score, to finish with an impressive 6-over-par, 78, on Sunday. Staudt was consistent throughout, shooting 3-over-par on both the front and back nines. For the tournament, she tied for 22^nd with a 28-over-par, 82-84-78-244.

Junior Macky Fouse (Aliquippa, Pa.) also tied for 22^nd overall at 28-over-par. On Sunday, she finished strong, shooting 4-over-par on the back nine, including a birdie on the difficult par-5, 17^th hole. Fouse finished with an 82-84-78-244.

Rounding out the Pirates' scoring, freshman Maddie Sager (Phoenixville, Pa.) shot a 16-over-par, 88, on Sunday. She finished the tournament with a 38-over-par, 83-83-88-254.

Championship Format:
Six team, 54-hole, stroke play Championship. Teams compete in groups of three. The event was conducted over four days with each team's five members playing a practice round of 18 holes on day one, one 18-hole round on days two, three and four.

The Course:
The club features three nine-hole courses. The competition will play the first nine holes on the Dogwood Course and the second nine on the Magnolia Course. Designing Callawassie Island's award-winning championship 27-hole course, Tom Fazio took advantage of the island's natural beauty to create a juxtaposition of visual drama and superb playability. Magnificent live oaks and magnolias, as well as freshwater ponds and the surrounding saltwater marsh, come into play on most holes. Inspiring vistas and abundant wildlife make nature part of the golf experience.

The Field:
For the BIG EAST Championship, the field was limited to only the six women's golf teams of the conference. This includes (in order of Golfstat ranking): Georgetown, St. John's, Seton Hall, Xavier, Butler and Creighton.

Up Next:
This concludes the 2017 spring season for Seton Hall. The Pirates will be back in action next fall with the entire team returning. Mia Kness (Venetia, Pa.) will join The Hall as a freshman.
