TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- For the first time in the nine-year history of the Indiana State Women's Golf program, the Sycamores have won three tournaments in the same season after capturing this weekend's 2015 Indiana State Spring Invitational Championship. The event was played at the par-72, 6,055-yard layout of The Country Club of Terre Haute.

The Sycamores won the event by posting rounds of 301 and 308 for a two-day total of 609. Their next closest competitor was William Woods who finished with a score of 616. Bradley was third (618), Western Illinois fourth (624), Loyola was fifth (626), Northern Iowa was sixth (628) and Southern Illinois was seventh (631). South Dakota finished eighth (634), Evansville was ninth (640), Dayton tenth (651), Eastern Illinois was 11th (667), Rend Lake CC was 12th (675), and Chicago State rounded out the field (699) in 13th.

"I had a good feeling about the team once we got to get outside," head coach Greg Towne said. "I thought they would progress each week and that's about all you can ask for really. It is cool that Marissa, Amanda and Erinn were in the Top 5. There were three all-conference players in the field so it was strong."

Indiana State adds this victory with their wins last week at the Bradley Spring Invitational as well as the Charles Braun Invitational back in October of 2014 to make it a school record three for the season. Individually, sophomore Marissa Uradomo finished first to take the second championship of her career. Uradomo also won the Bobby Nichols Intercollegiate last season as a freshman.

Uradomo carded rounds of even par 72 and a 76 to finish with a tournament total of 148 for the win. Her tally of 148 was her season-best 36 hole score by nine strokes. In a tie for second place was Amanda Smith who posted a 74 after an opening round 75 for a total of 149. Her score of 149 is a career-best which edged out her score of 150 at the 2013 Butler Invitational. In a tie for fifth place was Erinn Sutton who tallied scores of 76 on each day for a total of 152. That score of 152 is tied for her career-best showing in a 36-hole event as she posted the same mark in last year's Indiana State Spring Invitational.

Andrea Frankiewicz posted an 82 after opening with a 78 to finish with a score of 160 which was good enough for 160 and a tie for 32nd. Frankiewicz's mark of 160 is a career-best. Gina Della Camera's second round of 85 followed an 80 and her total of 165 finished in a tie for 49th.

Competing as individuals, Megan Berube posted rounds of 83 and a season-best 78 to finish with a tournament tally of 161 which tied for 34th. Shelby Williams tallied scores of 86 and 84 to finish at 170 which tied for 59th. Dawn Turner rallied from an opening round score of 94 to post an 84 to finish with score of 178 which was good enough for 75th. Margaret Harper recorded rounds of 88 and 91 for a total of 179 and a tie for 76th place.

The 2015 Indiana State Spring Invitational would not be possible without the support of The Country Club of Terre Haute -- its employees and members. The Country Club of Terre Haute has successful hosted two Indiana State Spring Tournaments and one Missouri Valley Conference Championship.

The Sycamores now take their two week winning streak on the road to the 2015 Missouri Valley Conference Women's Golf Championship on April 19-21 at the Burlington Golf Club in Burlington, Iowa.
