MESA, Ariz. - The IUPUI women's golf team finished play at the 2019 Clover Cup on Sunday (Mar. 17), posting a final round 312 at Longbow Golf Club to finish 13th of 15 teams vying for the 54-hole tournament title. The Jaguars finished at 954 (322-320-312) and lowered the team score in all three rounds of the event.

"This week really showed me how tough our ladies are. We have a lot of players battling injuries and they all played through them and never gave up," assistant coach Lauren Cramer said. "Marion and Amelie were solid all week. Marion played great, even though she is fighting off a very bad back injury and she always had a smile on her face. 

"I was very happy with Amelie putting up good scores all three rounds. This was a great learning experience for the ladies. This is the best field we will play all year and the weather was perfect." 

Junior Marion Debove led the Jaguars at 229 (81-74-74), tying for 30th among the 90-player field. Sophomore Amelie Svejda closed at 230 (79-77-74) and matched Debove's final round 74 to pace the lineup on Sunday. 

"I was having a lot of pain on the course. I had no idea if I could finish my rounds, so I was not focused on my score or anything. I was just trying to make it through the round and enjoy it as much as I could," Debove said. "My love for the game, the support from my teammates and coaches and the luck of being in Arizona helped me make it through the end of the tournament. 

"Of course I am disappointed by the first round, but I could not do anything about it. I could not turn so I had to accept it and move on. I'll just try to be as healthy as I can to get ready for the next tournament."

Sophomore Sloane Winders shot 81 to finish at 249 (82-86-81) and classmate Reece Malapit carded an 83 to close at 260 (85-92-83). Freshman Kara Blair's final round of 88 was discarded as she ended the tournament at 251 (80-83-88). 

Debove was steady throughout Sunday's round and closed with two birdies on her final four holes to get back to 2-over. Svejda carded a team-high three birdies on Sunday to go along with five bogeys ot account for her 2-over. 

Winders' best round of the tournament consisted of nine pars and nine bogeys while Malapit made eight pars and a birdie in her final round. 

Top ranked USC finished atop the field at 12-over 876 while four players topped the individual leaderboard at 2-under 214. 

IUPUI will return to action on Mar. 29-30 when it competes in the Colonel Classic, hosted by Eastern Kentucky at the University Club at Arlington.
