FLOSSMOOR, Ill. - IUPUI senior Aneta Abrahamova leads the 68-player field at this week's Loyola Fall Invitational after carding rounds of 76 and 74 on Monday (Sept. 18) at Flossmoor Country Club. Host Loyola leads the 11-team field at 622 (307-315) and leads second-place Butler by eight strokes. IUPUI is fourth overall at 638 (318-320) and trails third-place Montana by a single shot. 

Abrahamova, seeking her fourth collegiate tournament win, has a one shot lead over Loyola's Elayna Bowser heading into Tuesday's final round. Play will resume with a 9:00 a.m. Central shotgun start. 

"The golf course is playing long with firm and fast greens," Abrahamova said. "I played well off the tee and tried my best to keep the ball on the green."

Freshman Amelie Svejda is tied for 13th overall at 160 (82-78) and both Hafdis Johannsdottir and Elizabeth Orr are tied for 29th overall. Both carded opening rounds of 80 before both shooting 84 in the afternoon. 

Freshman Nicole Howard is 52nd overall at 171 (85-86). 

"I think the ladies learned a lot today. The speed of the greens were really quick with some slope," assistant coach Lauren Cramer said. "So they had to adjust to playing a course like that. I thought they did okay. We have room to improve tomorrow and I think they will play better now having played the course a couple times."

Cramer accompanied the Jaguars to the south suburb of Chicago as head coach Jamie Broce recently completed play at the PGA Cup in Surrey, England. 

IUPUI is tops among the three Horizon League teams in the 11-team field as Green Bay is tied for sixth at 653 and UIC is eighth at 654. Another familiar foe, Omaha, is tied with Green Bay at 653.
