KETTERING, Ohio - The IUPUI women's golf team made a substantial improvement and leapfrogged a pair of league foes in the standings as the Jaguars carded a final round 303 at the Dayton Fall Invitational at NCR North on Tuesday (Oct. 16). Junior Marion Debove led the charge with a final round even par 70, propelling her into a tie for fifth-place among the 75-player field at 145 (75-70). 

Sophomore Amelie Svejda also turned in her best round of the season with a second round 5-over 75 to end her tournament at 158 (83-75). Fellow sophomore Nicole Howard also ended her tournament at 158 (81-77), tying for 36th overall. 

Debove started well, making three birdies in the early going as part of her five birdies on the day. Howard also started well with an early birdie and a string of pars as collectively IUPUI surged up the board early in the day. 

"Yesterday was difficult, so today I just wanted to have fun on the course and stay positive," Debove said. "I had a pretty good day. I missed a couple of short putts, but overall it was encouraging."

Freshman Kara Blair went 80-81 for the tournament while Elizabeth Orr finished at 169 (82-87). 

Youngstown State captured the team title at 580 (292-288), defeating second-place Findlay by five shots. IUPUI jumped in front of both Northern Kentucky and Detroit on Tuesday to collect a fifth-place finish. Findlay's Makenzie Torres earned medalist honors at 1-under 139, defeating YSU's Victoria Grans by three strokes. 

IUPUI will conclude the fall slate at the Braun Intercollegiate on Oct. 22-23 at Oak Meadow Country Club in Evansville, Ind.
