EAST LANSING, Mich. - Freshman Kellye Belcher tied for second in her second collegiate event as the Indiana University women's golf team finished in seventh place at the Lady Northern Invitational. The Hoosiers finished with a team total of 920 (310-303-307) for their placement.
"I thought we played a lot of holes well," head coach Clint Wallman said. "We did great tee to green, but there were a few holes that gave us trouble and that hurt us."
Host Michigan State captured the tournament at Forest Akers West Golf Course, firing a 54-hole total of 889 (298-299-292). Northwestern came in second with a total of 898 (300-299-299). Individually, Tara Delaney of Kent State took home medalist honors, carding a 1-under par 215 (72-71-73) for the tournament.
Belcher wrapped up the tournament in a tie for second with a total of 219 (74-71-74). It was the second top-10 of the freshman's career, as she tied for sixth in her first collegiate event last weekend at the Badger Invitational.
"Kellye played fantastically," Wallman said. "Anytime you have a runner-up finish as a freshman, that is a big deal, especially in her second collegiate event. I am looking forward to more finishes like this for her."
Following Belcher was junior Elaine Harris, who tied for 28th place with a total of 233 (78-80-75). She was joined in that position by freshman Laura Nochta (78-76-79). Another freshman, Anita Gahir, shared 37th position with a 54-hole total of 235 (80-76-79), and sophomore Amber Lindgren tied for 70th place with a total of 253 (86-85-82). Senior Kendal Hake carded a total of 255 (83-89-83) to tie for 74th.
Indiana will return to action on Sept. 30 when they travel to Ann Arbor, Mich., for the Wolverine Invitational.
