2012 Allstate Intercollegiate Final Results

Senior Lisa McCloskey finished third while freshman Doris Chen took seventh - both season bests -- as the duo led the No. 4 USC women's golf team to its second top 3 finish in a row at the 2012 Allstate Sugar Bowl Intercollegiate in New Orleans, La., on Tuesday (Feb. 28).

The Trojans, who led by four strokes heading into the final round, gave up too much ground on the final day in a tightly packed field and finished at 17-over 881 (293-292-296). Duke came back from four down to win at 13-over 877 (295-294-288) while Colorado moved into second at 16-over 880 (297-293-290).

McCloskey turned in her fourth top 10 outing in five events this year by taking third at 3-under 213 (71-71-71). In a steady final round, she birdied 6 and 17 with a bogey on 14 and finished two back of Colorado's Alex Stewart (5-under 211).

Chen finished seventh at 1-over 217 (72-71-74). She had two birdies on the day and was 1-over on both the front and back 9. It's her second top 10 finish in a row.

Sophomore Sophia Popov tied for 16th at 6-over 222 (74-73-75), senior Inah Park tied for 46th at 13-over 229 (76-77-76) and sophomore Rachel Morris tied for 61st at 20-over 236 (79-79-78).
