Arizona is Thompson
golf leader

The Arizona women's golf team took the lead going into today's final round of the Dr. Donnis Thompson Rainbow Tournament at the Kaneohe Klipper Course.

The Wildcats shot their second straight team score of 298 for a 596 total to take a four-shot lead over first-round leader San Jose State. Stanford and Texas Christian were next at 603.

Host Hawaii was tied for eighth with New Mexico.

TCU's Angela Stanford posted a 1-under-par 71 for a one-stroke lead with a 36-hole total of 143. Georgina Simpson of San Jose State was second at 144 and Southern Methodist's Jennifer Hubbard third at 145, with the day's best round of 69.

Wahine swept by Lobos

The Hawaii softball team lost both ends of a WAC doubleheader to No. 24 New Mexico yesterday at Albuquerque, N.M., 3-2 and 7-5.

The Wahine (20-17, 7-5) trailed early in both games. In the opener, winning pitcher Kathy Moore drove in two runs, including what proved to be the game-winner in the third.

In the second game, Hawaii rallied to take a 5-3 lead in the top of the third but reliever Janelle Gonzales failed to work the magic that earned her a save on Monday. Tied at 5-5, Gonzales gave up two runs in the bottom of the sixth to give the Lobos (29-5, 2-1) the sweep.
