Day #1 Results (.pdf)

FLOSSMOOR, Ill. - The IUPUI women's golf team carded rounds of 317 and 320 and is fourth among the 12-team field at this week's Loyola Fall Invitational heading into Tuesday's final round at Flossmoor Country Club. South Dakota leads the field at 609 and Drake (623), host Loyola (628), IUPUI (637) and Lewis (639) are the top five teams going into Tuesday's final 18. 

Junior Marion Debove, coming off her first collegiate tournament win, is fifth among the 72-player field at 9-over 153 (77-76) and seven shots off the lead. Loyola's Elayna Bowser is atop the leaderboard at 2-over 146 and has a two-shot lead over second place Megan Munneke from South Dakota. Debove was the Jaguars' low scorer in both rounds and has been IUPUI's low scorer in all five rounds this season. 

Sophomore Nicole Howard posted rounds of 81 and 78 and is tied for 15th overall. Senior Elizabeth Orr and sophomore Sloane Winders notched rounds of 78 and 81 in the morning to account for the Jaguars' 317. 

However, Winders had to retire prior to completing round two as she continues to fight through shoulder issues, dating back to last season. Playing four-count-four, the Jaguars got an 82 from freshman Kara Blair and an 84 from Orr to give IUPUI a second round 320. 

"I had a pretty solid first round," Orr said. "I was able to get a lot of distances I was really comfortable with on my second shots and got a lot of them close from there. I putted really well both rounds and made six birdies today. In the second round a few tee shots got me in trouble.

"(Sloane)'s a pretty good, smart player and tried to tough it out, but it was smart to retire," head coach Jamie Broce said. "Today was a lot of good things though as we go forward."

Orr is tied for 27th overall at 162 and Blair is tied for 45th at 168. 

Junior Mikala Mawhorter played as an individual for the second time this season and registered rounds of 93 and a season-best second round 85. 

Play will resume tomorrow as the Jaguars will be paired with Lewis and Creighton for the final round.
