BOERNE, Texas - Baylor shot a final-round 311 Saturday to hold off Michigan and earn a seven-stroke win and its first-ever team title at the 2005 Baylor-Tapatio Springs Shootout, the fifth-annual collegiate women's golf tournament held at Tapatio Springs Golf Resort in Boerne, Texas.

Michigan shot a 15-over-par 303 Saturday despite rainy, cold conditions, and made up eight strokes but it wasn't enough to overtake Baylor. Play was delayed for an hour and a half Saturday due to rain as the temperature dropped into the 50s after two opening rounds played in sunny weather that topped 80 degrees.

Baylor's Josefin Svenningsson earned individual medalist honors after carding a final-round seven-over 79 and finishing the tournament at five-over 221. She became the first Bear to win the individual title at the Baylor Shootout, and was one of three Baylor golfers to finish among the top five in the field of 98.

Oklahoma finished fourth at 931 and Texas Tech was fifth at 938. Rounding out the top 10 were Florida International and UTEP (sixth place tie - 958), Wisconsin (eighth place - 962) and Arkansas-Little Rock, Eastern Michigan and Toledo (ninth place tie - 965).

Laura Cross of SMU finished as runner up to Svenningsson, carding a five-over 77 Saturday and finishing at seven-over 223. Baylor freshman Sian Reddick finished third at eight-over 224 after shooting a five-over 77 in the final round.

The field of 18 teams included five schools ranked among the nation's Top 50 according to Golfstat.com (No. 24 Michigan, No. 29 SMU, No. 38 Baylor, No. 42 Oklahoma and No. 50 Texas Tech).
