EAST LANSING, Mich. - The IUPUI women's golf team's banner campaign came to a close on Wednesday (May 8) with round three of the NCAA East Lansing Regional, hosted by Michigan State at Forest Akers West Golf Course. The Jaguars struggled with the wet, windy conditions and carded a final round 326 to ultimately finish 18th at 960 (316-318-326). Head coach Jamie Broce's team never showed signs of comfort at Forest Akers West as the course's length and wet conditions made scoring a weeklong challenge. 

Sophomore Nicole Howard as the Jaguars' top performer on Wednesday with a final round, 6-over 78 while junior Marion Debove finished the tournament at 233 (74-78-81) to lead the team. 

No. 12 Kent State earned the regional title at 4-under 860, edging No. 5 Arizona by a single shot. The other four teams punching tickets to the NCAA Championships were No. 14 UCLA (874), No. 4 Stanford (878), No. 28 Illinois (882) and unranked Indiana (883). UCLA's Patty Tavatanakit earned regional medalist honors at 8-under 208 (71-66-71) while Kent State's Pimnipa Panthong was runner-up at 4-under 212. 

Michigan State's Haylin Harris (213), Xavier's Mikayla Fitzpatrick (216) and Michigan State's Allyson Geer-Park (218) earned individual entries into the NCAA Championships. 

The Jaguars' lineup found more bogeys than pars on a final day filled with frustration and frigid temps. Howard was easily the lineup's steadiest performer on Wednesday, collecting 13 pars against four bogeys and a double bogey. 

The typically steady Debove finished at 9-over 81 and made her lone birdie of the day on the short par-3, No. 7. Sophomore Amelie Svejda made a birdie on the par-4, No. 15 as part of her final round 83. Freshman Kara Blair, one of the heroes of the Horizon League Tournament, posted a final round 84, making just eight pars. 

For the second straight day, sophomore Sloane Winders was bogged down by a balky shoulder and was unable to complete her round, pulling up after 12 holes. 

The future remains bright for Broce's squad though as all five members of the Horizon League lineup and NCAA Regional lineup are expected to return in 2019-2020.
