The team compiled a three-round score of 899 including a pair of under 300s in the first and final rounds.

IU WELCOMES NEWCOMERS
Indiana's lineup will get a dose of newcomers with all two newcomers playing in this weekend's event as Mary Parsons will play in the No. 1 spot to kick off her IU career. Freshman Angela Aung will also get her first collegiate action playing in the fourth spot at the Ptarmigan Ram Classic.
