CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. - The IUPUI women's golf team will continue a busy stretch this coming week when the Jaguars participate in the Saluki Invitational on Ocdt. 10-11, hosted by Southern Illinois at Dalhousie Golf Club. The tournament is slated for 54 holes with two rounds of continuous play on Monday (Oct. 10), followed by a final round on Tuesday (Oct. 11). 

Head coach Jamie Broce was able to put all nine of his ladies to the test this week as the Jaguars competed at the Butler Fall Invitational at Highland Golf and Country Club. The Jaguars finished sixth of 15 teams at 938 to go along with four individual entries. Junior Annaliese Fox earned her second top-10 finish of the year, tying for ninth at 229 and sophomore Nerea Lancho tied for 14th at 231. Lancho leads the team with a 75.56 stroke average this season while Fox is second at 75.78. Lancho has defeated 85 percent of her opponents on the year while Fox has dispatched 75 percent of foes. 

Junior Madeleine Pape is off to a solid start to her year with a 78.22 stroke average through nine rounds and classmate Shelby Busker is fourth on the squad at 79.00 and graduate Kara Blair is fifth at 79.83. The team scoring average sits at 307.33 while the Jaguars have a collective .538 winning percentage through three tournaments.  

QUOTABLE: "I'm proud of the way the ladies approached the golf course today. It was cold and we had a few delays due to frost, but they didn't let that stop them. They had a great mindset and were willing to adapt to the non-receptive and fast greens. Putting was extremely challenging, but Annaliese finished phenomenally, making three birdies in her final four holes," assistant coach Tavia Rutherford said following the final round of the Butler Fall Invitational.

FORMAT: Scoring will be 5-count-4 this week with two rounds on Monday (Oct. 10) and a final round on Tuesday (Oct. 11).
