WOMEN's RECAPS
  Bradley's Christie Lin (Calgary, Alberta/Sir John G Diefenbaker) shot a season-best, two-under par 70 Tuesday and finished 11th overall to help pace the Bradley women's golf team to a fifth-place team finish at the Island Classic. A week after fellow freshman Thea Hedemann (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan/Walter Murray) shot a school-record 68, Lin continued the trend of putting up low scores with her career-best 70 at the par-72 Corpus Christi Country Club Tuesday. Lin's 11th place finish was a season best and her 54-hole total of 228 marked her lowest three-round score of the year.
   Lin's 70 tied for the lowest round of the tournament and was the lowest individual third round score. She helped the Braves shoot the third lowest round of the day at 309 and move up two spots into fifth in the final team standings.
