TUCSON, Ariz. - Spurred on by a field-low 290 on the final day of play, the Indiana women's golf team finished fifth at the Mountain View Invitational at Mountain View Golf Club in Tucson, Ariz.
Colorado State took home the title after winning a playoff against Texas Tech as both schools finished with a score of 890. UNLV was third (894), followed by Baylor (895) and the Hoosiers (896).
"I am very excited about this round," said head coach Clint Wallman. "We got great play top to bottom from the lineup. They were clutch and showed a lot of heart out there. I think this gives us a great shot in the arm heading into our own tournament at home here in a couple of weeks."
Senior Laura Nochta carded a 69 on the final day, tying her season-low round, to finish tied for seventh with a score of 222 (75-78-69). Senior Kellye Belcher also carded a 222 for the tournament, putting up a 76 on the final day of play (75-71-76).
Freshman Jacqueline Yanch posted her low round of the tournament on Sunday with a 73 to finish tied for 28th with a 227 (78-76-73). Freshman Pamela Burneski recorded a 78 on the final day and tied for 46th with a 231 (75-78-78). Junior Lauren Giesecke ended her tournament on a high note, posting the second-lowest round of the day by a Hoosier with a 72, placing tied for 81st overall (85-83-72).
The Hoosiers won't have far to go for their next tournament as they play host to the Indiana Invitational, April 10-11 at the IU Golf Course.
