There’s something about the Golfweek Conference Challenge, held each fall at Red Sky Golf Club in Wolcott, that brings out the best in the University of Denver women’s team.
After finishing third in 2014 and fourth last year, the Pioneers placed second out of 18 teams Friday at Red Sky.
DU posted a 10-over-par 874 total, which left the Pios eight strokes behind champion San Diego State, which also won the team title last year.
Denver, coached by Lindsay Kuhle (pictured), put three players in the top 20 individually: freshman Camille Enright (1-over-par 217, 10th place), senior Mariell Bruun (219, 14th) and senior Jessica Carty (220, 19th).
Malene Krolboll Hansen of Coastal Carolina earned the individual championship at 9-under-par 207.
