Day #1 Results (.pdf)

RICHMOND, Ky. - The IUPUI women's golf team showed some good, bad and ugly as the Jaguars carded rounds of 299 and 312 at the Colonel Classic at the University Club at Arlington on Friday (Mar. 29). Host Eastern Kentucky leads the 13-team field at 8-over 584 while Northern Illinois is second at 588. 

Oakland (599), Ohio (601), Dayton (605) and Akron (608) all sit ahead of the Jaguars' 611 heading into Saturday's final round, which will begin at 8:30 a.m.. 

IUPUI was tied for third after an opening round 299, but played four-count-four in the afternoon round as sophomore Reece Malapit had to withdraw due to injury after her 21st hole of the day. Junior Marion Debove (75-71) and sophomore Amelie Svejda (70-76) did their best to help the Jags withstand the injury bug, but ultimately IUPUI's second round 312 to pushed them to seventh. 

Svejda was tied for second overall after an opening round 2-under 70 which saw her make four birdies against just two bogeys. She then began her second round with back-to-back birdies to get to 4-under after 20 holes. She ultimately closed her second round at 4-over 76 and is tied for tenth among the field at 146 (70-76).

"In my first 18 holes, my game felt pretty good. I gave myself a lot of birdie chances," Svejda said. "The second 18 holes were a little bit tougher, but I was still able to save a lot of shots thanks to my putter. Overall, it was a pretty good day and I am excited for tomorrow."

Debove, the Jaguars' top player, put up a first round 75, making two birdies and five bogeys. Like Svejda, she made two early birdies in round two and stayed under par throughout to close at 1-under 71. 

Malapit provided a first round 75 while both Kara Blair and Elizabeth Orr shot 79 each. In round two with Malapit sidelined, Orr shot 81 and Blair shot 84. 

Orr was strong in the morning round, sitting at even par for much of the day before making two late bogeys and a triple bogey on her final hole. Blair began her second round with two early birdies, but got derailed by a triple bogey on her fourth hole and never really recovered. 

Junior Mikala Mawhorter carded rounds of 87 and 89 while playing as an individual. 

Kentucky's Josephine Chang leads the field at 4-under 140 while two other players are tied for second at 3-under 141. Live results of Saturday's final round will be available on Golfstat and IUPUIJags.com.
