INDIANAPOLIS -- Indiana State put together the second-best team score of the day and used a one-over-par score from senior Thilda Staubo to rally and finish second at the Butler Fall Invitational. The two-round event was held at the Highland Golf Club which played as a par-72, 6,204-yard layout.

The Sycamores round two score of 317 was the second-best among the ten team field and coupled with their score of 315 on Monday gave them a tournament tally of 632 which put them in second place overall. Butler's scores of 304 and 306 gave them a score of 610 as they won the team title by 22 strokes over the Sycamores. ISU bested IUPUI by four shots as the Jaguars owned rounds of 309 and 327 for a total of 636 as they fell four shots short of ISU in second place. Illinois-Chicago enjoyed rounds of 323 and 321 for a total of 644 and a fourth place finish.

Missouri Valley Conference rival Evansville owned rounds of 315 and 330 for a two-day score of 645 and a fifth place finish. Green Bay (649), Chicago State (652), St. Francis (656), Delaware State (666) and Marian (678) rounded out the field.

Staubo's scores of 79 and 73 gave her a total of 152 over the two-day event and put her in fourth place overall. Butler's Laura Tibbets posted rounds of 72 and 69 for a total of 141 to take medalist honors.

"Thilda got it going again which was nice to see," head coach Greg Towne said. "Sophie had her best round of the year but wasn't counting toward the team. The course played extremely difficult but will definitely give us some insight on areas to improve. The fast greens should be consistent with what we have in our next few events."

Sierra Hargens carded rounds of 77 and 79 for a total of 156 and a tie for eighth place. Hargens was the defending champion of the event. Abigail Irwin blazed the course with a score of 77 on Monday and came back with a second round of 85 for a total of 162 and a tie for 21st place. Kayla Rayn owned rounds of 85 and 80 for a total of 165 and a tie for 37th place. Lauren Green rounded out the Sycamore lineup with rounds of 82 and 86 for a total of 168 and a tie for 48th place.

Madison Branum posted rounds of 82 and 81 for a total of 163 and a tie for 30th place while Sophie Benetti had rounds of 90 and 76 for a total of 166 and a tie for 42nd place. Both played as individuals in the tournament. 

Indiana State will return to action on October 15-16 when they travel to Northern Indiana for the MVC Fall Preview, hosted by Valparaiso. The tournament will be held at Sand Creek Golf Club in Chesterton, Ind.
