Kaua'i High graduate Lehua Wise fired a 2-under-par 70 in the final round to win the Price's Give 'Em Five Invite Wedneday on the New Mexico State Golf Course in Las Cruces.

Wise, an NMSU senior, captured the Aggies' tournament by two shots with a 214 total. She also won the Sun Belt Conference title as a freshman and has led NMSU in scoring two of her previous three years. She was an all-WAC second-team selection last season. The three-time KIF champion was a state high school runnerup twice.

The Aggies rallied to win the team title with a score of 26-over 890. The University of Hawai'i earned its second straight top-five finish with rounds of 301-307-305—913, good for a share of fifth.

Xyra Suyetsugu (75-227) led the Rainbow Wahine, tying for 19th. Dale Gammie (74-228) and Lisa Kajihara (78-228) tied for 23rd, followed by Corie Hou (82-234) in a tie for 46th and Nancy Shon (78-239) in a tie for 64th.

Kea'au graduate Sarah Sheffield (70-223), a Gonzaga junior, and Baldwin graduate Kelly Nakashima (78-227), an Idaho junior, finished Top 20.

UH hosts the Kent Youel Invitational on Tuesday and Wednesday at Kapolei Golf Course. It is the final event of its fall season.
