Williamsburg (Oct. 28, 2008) - The third time was a charm for Langley High School's Brigitte Baker as the senior won a three-way playoff Tuesday to capture the Virginia High School League 2008 Girls Open State Tournament after finishing third the past two years.

Baker's title included a second day rally that saw her shoot 73 and make up seven strokes on Hannah Pierce of King George and five strokes on Park View-South Hill's Paige Reese. All three athletes finished at 151 and Baker won the playoff with Pierce second and Reese third. The playoff was held on No. 18 with Baker sinking a birdie to win and Pierce shot par for second and Reese bogeyed for third.

A playoff for fourth was won by former state champ Amanda Steinhagen of Oakton with Sara Stanley of Westfield taking fifth. Both Steinhagen and Stanley shot 152. The Northern Region duo had to play No. 18 three times before Steinhagen was able to break the deadlock.

Chantilly's Lee Cressy was sixth at 153 followed by Lauren Coughlin of Hickory (154) and Sophia Montenegro of James Madison and Victoria Newbury of Jamestown, both at 15. Kelly Hill of Robinson rounded out the Top 10 with a 158.
