HOWEY-IN-THE-HILLS, Fla. - IU Indianapolis women's golf senior Yanah Rolston rallied for an individual title as the Jaguars wrapped up play at the Horizon League Championships on Monday (Apr. 27). Rolston fired a final round, 1-over 74 for the best round on the course of the day to end her tournament at 10-over 229 (76-79-74). She then played the waiting game as the remainder of the field rounded out play with Detroit Mercy's Ariel Chang making bogey on her 54th and final hole of the event to fall into a playoff. 

"I was getting some texts here and there about some updates and then I got a text to be ready to go and I was ready," Rolston said of having to wait before the playoff. "The trees and sand were struggles, but my putting really came in clutch. I hit the driver really well and didn't really miss the fairways."

Rolston returned to the 18th tee and ultimately made par to collect the win. Rolston's tee shot split the fairway and her approach left her a long winding putt. However, Chang's second shot flew over the green and her chip landed just on the fringe of the oversized green. After Chang's solid effort of a long putt, Rolston two-putted for the individual win. 

"It feels great. I love it," Rolston said following her first collegiate tournament win. 

Rolston sat at 1-over 38 at the turn after making birdie on No. 17 and then followed with four straight pars ahead of a birdie on No. 5. A tough three putt on the island green, par-3 No. 8 pushed her to 1-over for the day before she closed with a par on her final regulation hole ahead of celebratory hugs with teammates and family members. She was four shots off the lead in that moment, but El Campeon reared its ugly head for the remainder of the field, ultimately making her score strong enough for the victory. 

Freshman Olivia Aronhalt polished off a top-10 finish with a final round, 6-over 79 and classmate Li (Sherry) Xia closed with a final round 80. Sophomore Lexi Stuart had a solid day at 8-over 81, hindered primarily by a mess on her final hole of the tournament. Senior Reagan Sohn gutted out  a final round 86 in her final collegiate 18, including playing her final three holes to 1-under. 

Aronhalt finished at 234 (75-80-79) while leading the field with nine birdies for the tournament. Rolston tied for the tournament lead with 37 pars as she and Aronhalt ranked among the tournament's best on the par 3s. 

Rolston earns a spot in NCAA Regional play and will be assigned to either Chapel Hill, N.C., Stanford, Calif., Tallahassee, Fla., or Waco, Texas. Selections will be made on Apr. 29 with NCAA Regionals beginning on May 11.
