EVANSVILLE, Ind. - The IUPUI women's golf team posted a fourth-place finish at this week's 2017 Charles Braun Intercollegiate, hosted by Evansville at Oak Meadow Country Club. The tournament was shortened to Tuesday's single round after Monday's round was cancelled due to weather. IUPUI carded a single round score of 316 to finish five shots behind tournament co-champions Butler and Southern Illinois.
IUPUI also trailed Indiana State at day's end. Senior
Aneta Abrahamova finished tied for fifth at 5-over 77 and freshman
Nicole Howard earned a top-10 finish at 6-over 78. It was Abrahamova's fifth top-10 finish in as many entries this season and 20th of her four-year career. Howard, on the other hand, collected the first of her career.
"It was a tough day with the wind, cold and rain, but my course management and focus helped me throughout my round," Howard said. "I just tried to give my very best for my team because the past couple tournaments I have been struggling, so I wanted to end the (fall) season with a final good round."
Howard, known as one of the Jaguars' longest hitters, was able to use her length off the tees to her advantage.
"The best part of my game today was my driving and mental game."
Behind her, fellow freshmen
Amelie Svejda and
Hafdis Johannsdottir carded rounds of 80 and 81 respectively, to round out the Jaguars' lineup. Junior
Elizabeth Orr, who's been struggling with an injury at the close of the fall, shot a round of 85 in the Jaguars' No. 4 spot in the lineup.
Sara Saetre Toliver rounded out IUPUI's entries with a 96 while playing as an individual.
Butler's Rachel Gathof collected medalist honors at 3-over 75 and three others posted rounds of 76.
