Round #1 Results (.pdf)

KETTERING, Ohio - The IUPUI women's golf team shot a season-best opening round 297 at the Dayton Fall Invitational at NCR North on Monday (Oct. 16) and sits second among the 15-team field. Findlay leads the group at 293 while the Jaguars lead former Summit League foe Western Illinois by a single shot and Horizon League foe Oakland by three strokes. 

Senior Aneta Abrahamova carded an opening round 2-over 72 and is tied for second among the 90-player field. She trails only Western Illinois' Bridget Connolly, who carded an even par 70. Freshman Hafdis Johannsdottir shot a 73 to aid the Jaguars' effort and is tied for tenth.

"I'm happy we got to shoot the best team score today, especially in the difficult weather conditions," Abrahamova said. "My short game worked well today I was able to make some good pars."

Players were subjected to cooler temperatures as a cold front swept across the Midwest on Sunday. The cooler temps seemed to favor Johannsdottir, who hails from Iceland. 

"My tee shots were very consistent. I had many birdie opportunities today and am overall happy with my golf game today," Johannsdottir said.

Both freshman Amelie Svejda and junior Elizabeth Orr carded rounds of 76 while freshman Nicole Howard posted an opening day 80. Orr continues to impress in her first season with consistent playing time while Svejda has continued to perform well in her first year with the program. 

Howard's opening round 80 was just one stroke shy of matching her best round of the year. 

Play will continue with a 9:00 a.m. shotgun start on Tuesday.
