Day #1 Results (.pdf)

NORMAL, Ill. - The IUPUI women's golf team started well at the Redbird Invitational on Sunday (Sept. 10), carding rounds of 315 and 312 at Weibring Golf Club and is tied for seventh among the 12-team field. Monday's final round is slated for an 8:30 a.m. shotgun start. 

Bradley leads the field at 608 while Western Illinois (613), Northern Illinois (615), host Illinois State (617) and Bowling Green State (617) lead the field. Senior #Aneta Abrahamova# led the Jaguars with rounds of 79 and 70 and is sixth overall at 149. Her second round 70 was a career-best and tied for the fourth-best 18-hole score in school history. Abrahamova made three straight birdies early in the round and closed with a birdie for a career-best effort. 

"I struggled to catch a tempo during the first round and didn't make a birdie," Abrahamova said. "I made three birdies in a row during the second round that gave me some confidence. The rest of the round went well and I was able to finish with a birdie on the last hole."

Freshman Amelie Svejda lived up to her advance billing with rounds of 74 and 79 and is tied for 12th among the 75-player field. Classmate #Hafdis Johannesdottir# carded rounds of 83 and 77 to end the day at 160 and a third freshman, Nicole Howard, posted scores of 79 and 86. Sophomore #Mikala Mawhorter# rounded out the Jaguars' lineup with rounds of 88 and 91. 

Svejda made four birdies during her opening round while Johannesdottir made three birdies during the second round. 

"I thought the ladies played pretty well today for it being our first fall tournament," said assistant coach Lauren Cramer, who accompanied the team to Illinois. "I saw a lot of good golf today and I was proud of the freshmen. I was also really proud of Aneta for coming back with an under par round after her first round. We have some things we need to work on, but overall, I thought today was a good day. 

"They learned a lot and I hope they can go out there tomorrow and shoot a low number."

Bradley's Ally Scaccia leads the field by four shots after carding back-to-back rounds of 1-under 71 on Sunday. 

Monday's final round will begin with an 8:30 a.m. shotgun start.
