YORKTOWN, Ind. - Coming off a record setting performance to start the year, the IUPUI women's golf team will return to action this week when the Jaguars compete in the Cardinal Classic, hosted by Ball State at The Players Club. IUPUI will compete in the 54-hole event against a 16-team Midwest based field, including four Horizon League foes. 

IUPUI was brilliant in its first event of the season, carding a school record 870 at Weibring Golf Course to take second-place at the Redbird Invitational. Fifth-year senior Amelie Svejda earned a long overdue tournament win with a school record, 8-under 208 (70-67-71) to win by two strokes. She entered this season with six career runner-up finishes and now has 12 straight top-10 finishes to her credit. 

What was equally impressive was the Jags' tremendous depth up and down the lineup. Kara Blair and Shelby Busker finished tied for 12th at 222 and freshman Nerea Lancho made her collegiate debut with a 224 (71-74-79). Sophomore Madeleine Pape rounded out the quintet at 229. 

QUOTABLE: "Today the course played a little bit tougher than yesterday. I am super excited that I was finally able to win my first collegiate tournament! It's a great feeling. I'm also super proud of the team. Even though we didn't win, we played super solid and it makes me excited for the upcoming tournaments," Svejda said following the win at Illinois State. 

FORMAT: The event will be 5-count-4 with 36 holes of continuous play on Monday (Sept. 20) and a final 18 on Tuesday (Sept. 21). Sunday's play will begin with an 8:30 a.m. shotgun start and Monday's final round will start at 9:00 a.m.. 

THE COURSE: The Players Club is par 72 and 6,204 yards this week. The club is a public course and considered the best track in East Central Indiana. There are water hazards on seven holes and numerous strategically placed bunkers to challenge players. 

THE FIELD: In addition to the IUPUI squad, the field will consist of Akron, Ball State, Bowling Green, Butler, Cleveland State, Dayton, Eastern Michigan, Loyola-Chicago, Northern Kentucky, Oakland, Ohio, Purdue Fort Wayne, Taylor University, Valparaiso and Western Michigan. 

RANKINGS: IUPUI closed last season ranked No. 151 according to Golfstat and No. 166 by Golfweek.
