McALLEN, Texas -- Sydney Gillespie fired three consecutive rounds of 77 to lead the Creighton women's golf team to an eighth-place finish at the UTRGV Invitational in McAllen, Texas, on Tuesday.
The meet was held at McAllen Country Club, which played to a par 71 and was 5,924 yards. Tuesday's final round played to a par 70 after water damage on Monday night caused the 16th hole to be modified from a par 4 to a par 3.

Tying for 21st place was freshman Amelia Lee, who followed up a pair of 78s on Monday with a final round 76 for a 232 total.
Rachel Grenko led CU on Monday with scores of 77 and 76 before wrapping up play with an 81 to tie for 29th place.
