NORMAL, Ill. - Having already won three collegiate tournaments, senior
Aneta Abrahamova just missed adding a fourth to her resume on Monday (Sept. 11), polishing off a runner-up finish at this week's Redbird Invitational at Weibring Golf Club. Abrahmova carded a final round 1-under 71 to finish at 220 (79-70-71). She caught everyone but Bradley's Ally Scaccia, who earned medalist honors at 1-under 215.
Northern Illinois defeated Bradley by one shot to earn the team title. NIU ended the tournament at 914, just ahead of BU's 915. IUPUI was seventh among the 12-team field at 938.
Abrahamova began moving early, making three birdies in the early going to get to 2-under. She got to 3-under with a birdie on No. 2, but gave back a pair of shots on Nos. 3 and 6 to end her day. Abrahamova's 220 was the second-best 54-hole score in school history, trailing only a 218 she posted at Eastern Kentucky in April 2016.
"I'm happy I was able to finish strong and move up the leaderboard," Abrahamova said. "I played consistent throughout the day and was under par the entire round."
The freshman trio of
Amelie Svejda,
Hafdis Johannsdottir and
Nicole Howard rounded out the Jaguars' scoring four on Monday, carding rounds of 79, 78 and 83, respectively. Johannesdottir made three birdies on Monday while Svejda made nine pars. Howard had an ugly nine on her second hole of the day, but responded well, playing the remainder of the round at 5-over.
Svejda finished among the top 20, tying for 15th among the 75-player field.
Sophomore
Mikala Mawhorter rounded out the Jaguars' lineup at 269.
IUPUI will be back in action on Sept. 18 when they participate in the Loyola Fall Invitational at Flossmoor Country Club in Flossmoor, Ill.
