ALAMEDA, Calif. – Fort Lewis sophomore Peyton Gibby went three-over-par in her second trip around Corica Park Golf Course to lead the Skyhawks women's golf squad to a 25-stroke improvement and a score of 639 (+63), capturing a tie for 18^th overall in the team's first spring appearance at the Tim Tierney Pioneer Shootout.

Fort Lewis turned in a 307 (+19) as a team in round two, marking a 25-stroke improvement from round one's 332 (+44), good for the single-best improvement by any team at the tournament. The Skyhawks' 639 overall was good enough to force a tie for 18^th with Northwest Nazarene University. Both squads finished five strokes back from Chico State University, who finished at 634 (+58).

Gibby managed to shave off six strokes from her round score, carding a 75 (+3) in round two with a birdie on hole five, alongside 13 pars, including a one-over 37 on the back nine, to jump 18 spots on the leaderboard and tie for 56^th as an individual. Senior Dimery Plewe made the largest adjustment among Skyhawks, shooting an even-par 72 in round two with a dominant six birdies throughout the day and a four-birdie, one-under 35 on the back nine. Plewe climbed 27 spots on the leaderboard, which was the third-largest jump by any player in the tournament, to tie for 71^st on the strength of a 161 (+17).

Seattle Pacific University's Zoe Garcia, who held a three-way split for first-place after round one, shot her second consecutive 68 (-4) to force a two-way tie with California State University San Marcos' Avery Foster, who improved from a 69 (-3) in round one to a tournament-best 67 (-5) in round two, for individual medalist honors on a 136 (-8) total. The pair led the next closest player by two strokes, with nine individuals among the tournament's 102 overall finishers finishing below par.

The No. 17-ranked Cougars from Cal State San Marcos won the tournament outright on a dominant 10-stroke lead, shooting a combined score of 563 (-13) with rounds of 283 (-5) and 280 (-8). Only Point Loma Nazarene University managed to match the Cougars with a below-par score, shooting a 573 (-3) for second place.

Rounding out Fort Lewis' four scoring players were freshman Kathryn Moores and junior Isabel Bustillos. Moores shaved off six strokes from round one, shooting a 78 (+6) with a pair of birdies in her pocket to tie for 74^th on a 162 (+18). Bustillos found a pair of birdies in her second round, aiding her to a tie for 79^th, one stroke back from Moores with a 163 (+19). Ellie White was the final Skyhawk to travel, with the freshman shooting a 175 (+31) to tie for 99^th.
