September 29, 1998
Portland, Ore. - Aloha - The Oregon State womens junior varsity golf team shot 307 in the final round, the best for the day, and finished fourth at the inaugural University of Portland Invitational. The Beavers passed three teams the final day and finished with a 955 total.
Reena Eklund paced Oregon State on the final day. The junior from Medford shot a career low 3-over-par 75 over The Reserve Course. Eklund concluded the tournament tied for 12th at 235.
