Difficult scoring conditions in Sunday's final round did not deter the Indiana women's golf team, as they moved up one spot to finish fourth in the 11-team field at the Alexa Stirling Intercollegiate at the Atlanta Athletic Club.

CHIP-INS
• Sophomore Mary Parsons followed up her second round 69 on Saturday with a final round 73. She finished at 5-over par with a score of 221 to tie for fifth place, her second Top 5 finish this season.

• Her final round was a bit of a mixed bag, but she was able to keep it together to move up the leaderboard. After a bogey on the fourth hole, she came right back with an eagle on the par 5 fifth hole. Then a bogey on 10 and a double bogey on 12 had her at 2-over par for the round, but she closed the round in style with a birdie on the final hole.

• Parsons played the Par 5's in 2-under par for the tournament, tied for the fourth-best total in the field. Her 39 pars over the 54 holes were the second-most in the field.

• Five of the last eight rounds by Parsons have been under par.

• Freshman Alexis Miestowski recorded the best finish of her young career, closing with a round of 2-over 74 to sit in a tie for seventh place at 6-over par for the tournament (75-73-74; 222).

• The final round for Miestowski featured three birdies – giving her nine for the tournament – in addition to three bogeys and a double bogey. The nine birdies tied for the sixth-most in the field for the week.

• Senior Erin Harper earned a tie for 25th after a final round 77 put her at 12-over par (73-78-77; 228). She logged four birdies, matching Miestowski's total of nine for the tournament to tie for the sixth-most.

• Graduate transfer Kari Bellville also posted a 77 in Sunday's final round and took home a T32 finish at 14-over par (81-72-77; 230). Bellville recorded a par on each of the first 11 holes before a birdie on the 12th. However, she posted an 8 on the par 4 13th hole and then carded two more bogeys on the way in. She finished the tournament with 34 pars on her scorecards.

• Angela Aung finished in a tie for 57th after a final round 84 put her at 24-over par for the tournament.

• Priscilla Schmid closed with a 76 on Sunday while competing as an individual to tie for 35th at 15-over par for the tournament.
