Bruin Wave Invitational - Final Results 
TARZANA, Calif. - Juniors Lauren Sewell and sophomore Anica Yoo all posted top-20 finishes to lead the Oregon State women's golf team to a fifth-place showing at the Fourth Annual Bruin Wave Invitational on Tuesday.
Oregon State shot the third-best score among the 15-team field in Tuesday's final round with a 14-over 302 at the par-72, 6,131-yard El Caballero Country Club to move up to fifth place overall with a 60-over 310-312-302--924. The Beavers finished ahead of three teams ranked nationally, including No. 21 Oklahoma State, and posted their third top-5 finish of the 2012-13 season.
No. 1 USC shot the best round on Tuesday with a 5-over 293 to come from behind and claim the team title with a 20-over 884. No. 20 UCLA was two strokes back with a 22-over 886 to finish in second and No. 8 Arizona shot the second-best score on Tuesday with a 9-over 297 to move into third place overall with a 32-over 896.
"It was a very good week with a fifth-place finish and a win over a top-25 program," Oregon State head coach Risë Alexander said about the two-day, 54-hole tournament. "We had the third-lowest round of the day today, so we ended this four-week stretch of events on a very good note."
| 5 | Oregon State | 310 | 312 | 302 | 924 |
| T16 | Seshia Lei Telles (1) | 75 | 79 | 74 | 228 |
| T19 | Lauren Sewell (2) | 80 | 75 | 74 | 229 |
| T19 | Anica Yoo (3) | 78 | 74 | 77 | 229 |
| T45 | Ashlee Pickerell (4) | 77 | 87 | 77 | 241 |
| 64 | Chelsea Saelee (5) | 82 | 84 | 83 | 249 |
The stalwarts of the program, Telles and Sewell, led Tuesday's charge up the leaderboard by each shooting a 2-over 74. Telles finished in a tie for 16th place with a 12-over 75-79-74--228 for her 10th career top-20 finish, while Sewell finished in a tie for 19th with a 13-over 80-75-74--229 for her eighth career appearance in the top 20.
Yoo had her best finish of the spring, and her eighth career top-20 showing, as she equaled Sewell with a tie for 19th place after shooting a 13-over 78-74-77--229. It breaks a string of five tournaments outside the top 20 and should give her confidence heading into the final three tournaments of the year before the Pac-12 Championship.
Freshman Ashlee Pickerell had one tough round that affected her overall result, a 15-over 87 in the afternoon on Monday, but still had two solid rounds to help her finish in a tie for 45th with a 25-over 77-87-77--241. Freshman Chelsea Saelee was unable to shoot a round in the 70's and finished the event with a 33-over 82-84-83--249 for a sole 64th place finish.
The Beavers have three weeks off before traveling to Hawai'i to compete in the Anuenue Spring Break Classic at Kapalua Lahaina from Monday, March 25 through Wednesday, March 27.
"Now we have two weeks to prepare for a good field at Hawai'i and also finish winter term finals," Alexander said. "We are going to talk a lot about course strategy and practice our putting in realistic course situations. That helped us prepare for this week, and we will continue that emphasis."
