VERONA, Wisc. - The IUPUI women's golf team capped play at the NCAA Madison Regional on a rainy Wednesday (May 9) as the Jaguars carded a final round 308 to finish the 54-hole event at 928 (313-307-308). Senior #Aneta Abrahamova# was the Jaguars' low finisher, playing her final collegiate tournament at 2-over 218 (70-75-73), tying for 30th among the 96-player field. 

Duke won the regional crown at 14-under 850 and was joined by Virginia, USC, Arizona State, Ohio State and Northwestern in punching a ticket to the upcoming NCAA National Championships in Stillwater, Okla. Ohio State had the low round of the day with a 2-under 286 to vault ahead of Illinois and Northwestern to snag one of the six team berths. 

Oregon State's Nicole Schroeder earned medalist honors at 10-under 206 and was joined by Gabby Curtis (Wisconsin) and Erin Harper (Indiana) in capturing individual berths at the NCAA Championships. 

Abrahamova was in the conversation for one of the individual berths heading into the final round, sitting at 1-over 145 coming into play. She opened well, going birdie-par-par to start the day before making back-to-back bogeys to derail her chances. She recovered with a birdie on the par-5 No. 6, but it was ultimately too little, too late. Two more bogeys pushed her to 2-over before she made birdie on her 53rd hole of the tourney to get back to 1-over on the day. Fittingly, she made par on her final collegiate hole to close at 73. 

The Jaguars' all-time leader in career scoring average and rounds played asserted herself against the nation's elite, finishing ahead of seven players ranked among GolfStat's Top 100. Her 11 birdies this week tied for 13th amongst the field. 

Sophomore #Marion Debove# continued her solid play with a final round 4-over 76, which included back-to-back birdies late in the round. She finished at 229 (79-74-76), tying for 71st overall. 

Freshmen #Nicole Howard# and #Amelie Svejda# ended at 239 and 244, respectively. Howard's putter continued to torment her, although she finished well, playing her final nine at 1-over. Svejda, a first team All-Horizon League honoree, authored a solid bounce back round of 79 as she also played the final nine at 1-over. 

Junior #Elizabeth Orr# rounded out the IUPUI lineup with a final round 82 to close the tournament at 251.

Head coach #Jamie Broce#'s squad will lose just one member of this year's championship lineup as Abrahamova will graduate and turn her attention to a professional golf career. Otherwise, the remainder of the lineup will return and be bolstered by the return of #Lindsey Hackleman#, who missed this season due to injury. 

"We need to get some of them in really strong summer programs and their games will really take off," Broce said. "If they're strategic and play in some good tournaments and continue to work on their games, they'll find that we can consistently make it to Regionals. That's the goal at this point."
