Smith calls the way that his team played a "mixed bag." "Overall, it was a good effort and we were kind of happy," Smith said. "One of the things we have to work on is consistency. We've got to get little more consistent rather than the real low round, then the high round." Mombert agrees with Smith, the team hasn't played consistently this season and feels that part of its problems were because of extended travel. The short trip helped them in this tournament, she said. "We didn't have to travel quite as far; we had a car ride instead of a plane flight," Mombert said. "We just traveled three weeks in a row, then we'd be home for two days and then we'd leave again. We haven't had as much time to work on our game between tournaments." UC Davis in its first year of competition finished first with a 915 score, claiming the team title over the University of Idaho by three shots. Eastern Washington finished third overall and first among Big Sky Conference schools. Montana finished with a one shot lead over Weber State, while Portland State finished one shot behind. Montana State finished 10th overall and Idaho State finished last amongst the 14 teams. You can reach reporter Todd Broadhead by calling 626-7983.
