Go Hogs!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much success has come from this university and this community,\u00a0with individuals making\u00a0names for themselves in\u00a0all aspects of life, making\u00a0Gutierrez one of many in the Javelina family to show that tradition of excellency, as she stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the Laredo Country Club in Laredo, Texas last week, the golf team took seventh place\u00a0and although there were\u00a0bright moments for the\u00a0team, coach Stefanie Maynard highlights room for improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis tournament was\u00a0a good assessment of where we are at,\u201d said coach Stefanie Gray in an interview with Javelina Athletics, \u201cand determining the steps to\u00a0where we want to be. They learned they will have to work harder and be sharper for tougher\u00a0courses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This, however, should\u00a0not overshadow the individual performance for Gutierrez as her\u00a0only real blunder on the course came on the first\u00a0hole of the day when she went down a nine on the par-4 second, one of just two times in 54 holes she carded a score higher\u00a0than a bogey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Laredo native\u00a0was four-over for the rest of the day and one- over through her last nine holes, a stretch she\u00a0concluded with a birdie on hole number one.\u00a0Gutierrez is sure to give\u00a0off more performances like this weekend at the\u00a0Woman\u2019s Rattler Invitational, in San Antonio, March 1 to 2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Excellence on the golf course.
