GERMANTOWN, TENN. – With cold temps, strong winds and light snow forcing the cancelation of the final 18 holes of play on Tuesday, the University of Missouri-St. Louis women's golf team has officially been crowned champions of the Buccaneer Spring Classic, hosted by Christian Brothers.

The Tritons turned in a 638 (319-319), winning the event by 37 strokes. The field consisted of seven teams.

It is the fourth team title for UMSL this season.
