B1G Accolades for Harper
Senior Erin Harper collected Big Ten Golfer of the Week honors on Feb. 13 after a T13 finish at the Lady Puerto Rico Classic. It is the first weekly honor in Harper's career and the first for an IU golfer since Alix Kong on Nov. 1, 2017.
Harper Among the Best in the Nation
Erin Harper has continued to prove that she is among the top golfers in the country. She qualified for the NCAA Madison Regional last year as a junior and then advanced on to the NCAA Championships in Stillwater, Oklahoma as well. Most recently, she qualified to Stage II of LPGA Q-School in Florida. Harper has finished outside of the Top 30 in tournament play just twice in her last 21 tournaments. Her 73.18 scoring average for this season leads the team.
Bellville's Back
Graduate transfer Kari Bellville recorded her best individual finish in over three years at the Illini Invite at Medinah after carding rounds of 69-72-75 earned her a tie for 25th. It was her best finish since a T4 showing at the Chip-N Club Invite on Oct. 6, 2015 while competing for Notre Dame. And the opening round 69 at Medinah was just one stroke shy of matching her career best round. Her scoring average of 75.21 so far this season is nearly two strokes better than her previous single-season best of 76.80 set back in 2015-16.
Parsons is Producing
Sophomore Mary Parsons is getting back into the swing of things after a difficult start to the 2018-19 season. She finished T49 at the Mary Fossum Invitational in her first appearance of the season. But has followed that up with a runner-up showing at the Butler Fall Invitational and then rebounded with a T20 finish at Medinah and then a T5 finish at the Alexa Stirling Intercollegiate. As a freshman, she led the Hoosiers with a scoring average of 73.31.
Miestowski Doesn't Miss
Freshman Alexis Miestowski has had a stellar start to collegiate career, and has come on strong toward the end of the fall season and the start of the spring schedule. She has recorded Top 10 finishes in two of her last three events and is coming off a T6th finish at the Westbrook invitational the last time out. She finished that event at 5-under par, which is also a season-best for her.
