VERONA, Wisc. - The IUPUI women's golf team continued play at the NCAA Madison Regional on Tuesday afternoon (May 8) as the Jaguars carded a second round 307 at University Ridge Golf Course. The Jaguars got a more balanced effort than day one, but still slid a spot in the standings to 18th at 620 (313-307). 

Senior #Aneta Abrahamova# remains in the hunt for an individual spot at nationals after a second round 3-over 75 put her at 145 (70-75) for the week. The Jaguars' all-time leader in rounds played and stroke average is tied for 30th among the 96-player field at 1-over. 

Oregon State's Nicole Schroeder leads the field at 10-under 134 and Indiana's Erin Harper is second at 6-under 138. The top six teams and top three individuals from non-advancing teams will move on to the NCAA National Championships later this month. 

"The wind picked up in the afternoon and the greens got a little firmer and a little faster," said head coach #Jamie Broce#, who was relegated to spectator duty this week after opting to allow #Lauren Cramer# and #Colby Huffman# to be the two on-course coaches.

Abrahamova got off to a rocky start as she didn't make her first birdie until draining a long putt on No. 18 to cap her first nine holes. She was at 5-over after a double bogey on No. 16, followed by a bogey on 17. However, she rolled in a 15-footer on No. 18 and rattled off two more birdies on Nos. 1 and 2. She made a bogey on No. 3 and ended her day with six straight pars as the winds picked up. 

Sophomore #Marion Debove# had a less eventful 2-over 74, opening with eight consecutive pars before also making birdie on No. 18. Like Abrahamova, Debove rolled in a long putt to get to 1-under 35 on the front nine. Her back nine consisted of seven pars, a bogey on No. 3 and a double bogey on No. 6. 

Freshman #Nicole Howard# chimed in with a 6-over 78 as she began to get a better feel for the greens. She faded late, making a pair of late bogeys. Junior #Elizabeth Orr# posted an 8-over 80 on a day in which she made three birdies, including a clutch putt on No. 9. By and large, Orr avoided the big numbers that plagued her during Monday's round. 

Freshman #Amelie Svejda# rounded out the Jaguars' lineup with an 82 on a day in which she never got going. She made 10 bogeys and eight pars to move to 165 (83-82) for the tournament. 

IUPUI will be paired with Murray State and North Dakota State for the third straight round on Wednesday, beginning at 9:39 a.m. Central. Abrahamova will likely know what number it will take to advance to nationals by the midpoint of her round. 

"She's going to have to get off to a good start," Broce said. "It's going to be challenging because there's a lot of good players here [at Regionals], but she's one that's always up for a challenge. We'll try and do some math and see if we can figure out what she's looking at and then go from there.

"This is all setup for next year. Four of our five young ladies will be back next season and we have aspirations at being back here at Regionals and maybe advancing beyond this. These rounds are all about getting some much needed experience and learning what it's like to play at this level."

A full recap, results and photos of Wednesday's final round will be posted to IUPUIJags.com immediately afterwards.
