LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. - The Fairfield University women's golf team took second-place at the 2005 JetBlue Airways MAAC Golf Championships at the 5,914-yard, par-72 Magnolia Golf Course in Walt Disney World.
The two-team 54-hole tournament was won by Siena College who shot 338 in the final round to give the Saints the win with a score of 997. Fairfield finished the third round with a 340 and a three-day total of 1,018.
Sophomore Liz McCabe (Wellesley, Mass.) carded rounds of 81, 83, and 81 to take second-place overall and lead the Stags with a 245 (+29). Senior Allie Schick (North Kingstown, R.I.), who held the lead after her first round 80, completed her outstanding four-year career with a 252 (+36) to finish in fifth-place.

Siena's Melissa Agostinelli claimed the 2005 Women's McLeod award, which is presented to the MAAC individual champion. The award is named after Charles "Scott" McLeod, a 1980 graduate of Iona College, who passed away in 1985 after a life-long fight with kidney-related ailments. McLeod was also a lifetime member of the Pelham Country Club, where the MAAC Tournament was held in the middle 1980's, and was a sponsor of the tournament the first year it was held at Pelhelm.
