HERSHEY - Junior Samantha Miller finished tied for ninth in a field of 44, and shot a second-round 76, tied for third-best on the final day, to lead East Stroudsburg University at the 2016 PSAC Women's Golf Championships on Saturday and Sunday at the Hershey Country Club East course.

Miller finished with a two-round total of 161 (+19) on the par-71 course. She had an opening round 85, ranking 16th after the first day, before vaulting into the top 10 with her 18 holes on Sunday.

Miller's top-10 finish is ESU's second in nine seasons of women's golf. Karen Cash was tied for third as a freshman in 2009-10 in her only season with the Warriors.
