HOWEY-IN-THE-HILLS, Fla. - The IU Indianapolis women's golf team will trek south this weekend to compete in the #HLGolf Championships, hosted on El Campeon at Mission Inn Resort. Head Coach
Jamie Broce's team has had success at Mission Inn in the past and will be seeking the Horizon League's automatic berth into NCAA Regional play.
Junior
Yanah Rolston has continued to be the team's top player with a 78.26 stroke average and .635 winning percentage in nine events. Behind her, true freshman
Cassidy Ayres owns a 79.75 scoring average and has a top-10 finish.
Collectively, the Jags come in with a 318.46 stroke average.
THE FIELD
Eight of the 11 Horizon League schools compete in women's golf as Youngstown State, Oakland and Purdue Fort Wayne are the top three seeds. The Jaguars enter as the No. 5 seed in the league, just ahead of Northern Kentucky and just behind Green Bay.
THE COURSE
El Campeon combines beautiful Florida conditions and scenery with a touch of Scotland as the course was designed by George O'Neil in 1917. The course was later reconfigured in 1926 by Charles E. Clarke, who's roots came from the legendary grounds of Troon, Scotland. The course is both fair and challenging for players of all skill levels.
