HOWEY-IN-THE-HILLS, Fla. - The IUPUI women's golf team posted a final round 328 at the Horizon League Championships on Monday (Apr. 22), closing in fourth-place at 967 (322-317-328). Senior
Shelby Busker earned a spot on the All-Tournament Team, tying for third at 233 (77-76-80). It marked Busker's third career All-Tournament Team finish in her four-year career as she also earned the achievement as a freshman and sophomore.
"Really proud of Shelby and all the young ladies," head coach
Jamie Broce said. "As a team, it just wasn't our week and that's part of it. We had some stretches where we played well and we had some good shots. That's all you can ask for. With this group, it's never for a lack of effort.
"I'm going to miss coaching this group. They're great players but even better young ladies. They're honestly a joy to coach every day."
Busker led the Jaguars with a final round 80 on Monday while fellow senior
Annaliese Fox posted a round of 82 to earn a top-10 finish. Fox ended the event at 238 (80-76-82) in tenth-place.
Both
Madeleine Pape and
Yanah Rolston registered rounds of 83 and freshman
Sydni Zebrauskas shot 84. Rolston had two of the team's three birdies on Monday as scoring was at a premium for the Jaguars. Busker had the team's only other birdie, doing so on the par-3 No. 12.
The Jaguars managed the front nine fairly well with the highest score being Fox and Zebrauskas at 4-over. Busker, Pape and Rolston all were at 3-over at the turn. However, IUPUI was unable to right the ship on the back nine as the team's eight double bogeys outweighed the two birdies.
Busker finished the tournament tied for second among the field with eight birdies while Fox and Rolston were second on the team with four apiece. Fox had a team-high 31 pars for the week.
Oakland ran away with the team title at 930, defeating second-place Youngstown State by 24 shots. OU's Bridget Boczar earned medalist honors at 8-over 227.
Broce's team graduates five seniors of this year's roster, including Busker, Pape and Fox.
