As a freshman last season, Uribe won the regional championship in Texas and led the UCLA Women's Golf Team to the team title.

A year later, in windy and chilly conditions, she won medalist honors again, beating freshman teammate Stephanie Kono by a stroke.

The windy conditions blew scores upward as the Bruins mustered the day's best score -- a 15-over par 303 -- without a single player posting a score of par or better.

UCLA's 54-hole total of 877 (+13) beat runner-up Purdue (896, +22). Wake Forest took third at 899 (+35), followed by Oklahoma State at 901 (+37) and Michigan State at 905 (+41). In sixth place was New Mexico at 912 (+48), followed by Ohio State at 917 (+53) and UT Chattanooga at 922 (+58). Those eight teams advanced to the NCAA Championship, May 19-22 in Maryland.

The NCAA East Regional Women's Golf Championship win was their fifth in 10 years under Coach Carrie Forsyth, who has guided the team to seven tournament titles this season, tying the school record. In the last decade, Forsyth has guided the UCLA Womens Golf Team to 32 tournament victories.

For Uribe, it was her third career victory and second regional crown. She posted scores of 69-70-73--212 (-4).

Kono bogeyed the last hole for a two-over par 74 and a 54-hole total of 213 (-3).

Final scores with relation to par from the NCAA Women's Central Regional, played May 7-9 at the par-72, 6,246-yard Scarlet Course at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio
