TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- Indiana State came from as many as nine strokes down in the final round to capture their fourth consecutive ISU Spring Invitational Championship. The event was held at The Country Club of Terre Haute which is a par-72, 6,041-yard layout on the south side of town.

The Sycamores rebounded from a 315 on day one to post a round of 295 on Monday. The 295 is the second lowest team single round in the history of the program only bettered by a 287 in the second round of the last season's MVC Championship in Chicago. The two-round score of 610 is the fourth-best in the history of program and was just one shy of the team's best ever two-day score at the ISU Spring Invitational.

Indiana State won a team championship for the second time this season as they came back from seven shot deficit in the season opener at Youngstown State to win that tournament. This win marked the 10th of head coach Greg Towne's seven seasons at the helm of the Sycamore program. He has led the team to mulitple team championships in each of the last three seasons.

Butler followed up their 316 with a 307 on day two and ended with a tournament score of 623 in third place. First round leader William Woods followed up their opening day 306 with a 318 and their tally of 624 was good enough for fourth place. Drake improved on their 315 in the first day to score a 314 and their total of 629 was fifth. Right behind the Bulldogs was Evansville who recorded a 313 and finished with a tally of 631 in sixth place.

Rounding out the field was Loyola (635), Northern Iowa (637), Illinois-Springfield (647), Eastern Illinois (651), Indiana State "B" (665) and Dayton (666).

Evansville's Kayla Katterhenry won medialist honors with rounds of 75 and 70 for a total of 145 to win the individual title. 

Sycamores' Marissa Uradomo and Sophie Benetti came charging during the second round to finish with totals of 149 which tied with Drake's Madison Glennie for second place. Uradomo followed up her opening round of 75 with a 74 on Monday while Benetti rebounded from a 78 on Sunday to post a one-under-par round of 71 in the final round as they both finished with a 149. Monday's 71 was a career-best round for Benetti.

Also with a total of 157 and a tie for 17th place was Robyn Blanchard who recorded rounds of 81 and 76. The greatest one day improvement came from Thilda Staubo who shot a final round 74 after recording an 84 on Sunday for a total of 158 and a tie for 21st place.

On the Indiana State "B" team, the Sycamores were led by Dawn Turner's rounds of 78 and 85 for a total of 163 and a tie for 37th place. Kayla Ryan had a 78 on the first day and came back with an 89 on Monday for a total of 167 and a tie for 52nd place.
