LAKE BUENA VISTA, FL – Ava Lozito finished sixth individually as the Monmouth University Women's Golf Team placed fourth at the 2022 MAAC Championships this weekend.
 
Lozito opened with a one-over par 73 and followed that with two more rounds in the 70's, good enough to place sixth in her first conference championship. Paige Diecidue also shot in the 70's all three days, her best being two 78's in the final two rounds, placing her in 12^th. Cassidy Gavaghan's opening round was her best, shooting 73, and eventually finishing in a tie for 16^th. Claire Orr saved her best round of 78 for the final round, ranking T23, while Liddie McCook fired two rounds in the 70's to open the tournament.
 
As a team, Monmouth shot 302 to open, the best round of the weekend. That was followed with a 314 and a 315 to place fourth, 11 shots clear of fifth place and just nine shots out of third. Quinnipiac won the championship, with Albany in second and Dayton in third.
