STANFORD, Calif. - Junior Demi Runas and freshman Blair Lewis each had two birdies and two bogeys as both shot par 71 and helped the No. 21 UC Davis women's golf team climb three spots to finish ninth at the Stanford Intercollegiate on Sunday.

The Aggies posted their second-best score of the 54-hole tournament - a 5-over 289 - to earn a single-digit placing in a field that showcased six top-10 teams. UC Davis beat one of those programs, carding a 16-over 868 to beat No. 9 Texas by six shots.

Lewis paced the Aggies by tying for 25th at 2-over 215 while Runas tied for 30th with teammate Amy Simanton - who had a 74 on Sunday - at 3 over. Freshman Beverly Vatananugulkit closed with a 74 and sophomore Jessica Chulya came in with a 73, both of them tying for 65th on the final leaderboard.

Top-ranked UCLA either shared or outright owned the lead after each round and posted a three-shot win over No. 10 Vanderbilt. The Bruins were 10 under for the weekend, firing a 2-over 286 on Sunday.

Washington, which was third, had the medalist in SooBin Kim who blitzed the 6,148-yard Stanford Golf Course with a final-round 66, baeting UCLA's Stephanie Kono, playing as an individual, by two shots. Kim, who also had a 66 in the first round, was 13 under overall.

Runas and Lewis had nearly identical rounds on Sunday for UC Davis. Runas opened with a bogey on the par-4 10th, her first hole of the day, but got the stroke back with a birdie on the par-4 11th. She duplicated that sequence on her eighth and ninth holes and then finished with nine straight pars.

Lewis quickly got to 2 under with birdies on two of her first three holes and then settled in with five consecutive pars before back-to-back bogeys on the 18th and 1st holes brought her back to even. Eight pars in a row to end her round tied her with Runas for low round of the day for UC Davis.

Simanton had bookend bogeys around pars on her front nine and then opened her back nine with with a birdie on the par-5 1st hole, on her way to a 74. Chulya, who carded a second-round 71, had three birdies on Sunday, including consecutive ones on the par-3 3rd and 4th holes. Vatananugulkit , like Simanton, birdied the course's first hole and played her back nine just 1 over.

The Stanford Intercollegiate had 14 teams ranked in Golfstat's top 50.

UC Davis will finish its fall season on Oct. 24-26 when it travels to the Las Vegas Collegiate Showdown.
