Women’s golf ties for second in first tournament

The Indiana State University women's golf team finished second in Bloomington, Ind. Sunday in the first golf tournament of the season.

The Sycamores tied for second with Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) at 611.  The team shot a 310 on the first day and a 301 in the second round.  The second round score is now the second best team round in school history.  The best was achieved in the 2007-2008 campaign with a score of 298.

Leading the Sycamores in individual scores was senior golfer Reece Feducia.  Feducia tied for second with a two round score of 147.  Her second round score of 71 was a career best and second on the all-time list for the Sycamores.  The lowest round score shot by a Sycamore was in 2010 with a score of 68 by Breanne Smith.

Sophomore golfer McCall Christopher finished sixth with a two round score of 151.  Christopher had a carrer best round Sunday of 74.  Another Sycamore, junior Emily Dixon, finished with a two round score of 155 for a ninth place finish.

Gregory Towne, ISU women's golf head coach, said the results from the training the girls put in early in the year are showing.

"Last year we finished last, next to last," Towne said.  "I told the girls we are going to go through a year of training work specifically on our fundamentals…we have done that and now the girls' swings are different. Their confidence is way high ‘cause they know they are doing the absolute best training that they can do, so the results are showing."

The Indiana State golf team will travel to The Players Club Golfcourse in Yorktown, Ind. to compete in the Cardinal Classic this Saturday and Sunday.
