PADUCAH, Ky. – Indiana State women's golf hits the road to Kentucky for The Velvet, hosted by Murray State, on September 16-17 at the Country Club of Terre Haute.
 
This will be the first tournament hosted by MSU that the Sycamores will compete in since the Murray State Racer classic in the fall of 2015.
 
Head coach Greg Towne is rolling out the entire squad in the tournament, with Briana LeMaire, Sohpia Florek, Rosie DiNunzio, Yang Tai, and Eliza Baker competing as a team. The newcomers Alana Gilbert, Gabby Cone, and Nicole Feistl will each be playing as an individual.
 
Indiana State is alongside 14 other teams competing in The Velvet, including Evansville, Southern Illinois, Belmont, and Northern Iowa. Monday will see 36 holes of play followed by 18 on Tuesday.
 
Florek was the top finisher for the Sycamores in the fall opener, finishing in the top half of the field. Her score of 232 was the best finish for her in her young collegiate career.
 
DiNunzio was the second-best finisher for Indiana State, setting a new personal low round of 75 in her young career.
 
LeMaire and Tai each finished 21-over, with LeMaire officially coming in 61st place and Tai in 65th.
 
Baker will make her season debut this week. The junior played in six tournaments last year, saving her best performance for last at the ISU Spring Invite, carding two 76s in each round.
 
Gilbert will look to bounce back from the Redbird Invitational, while Cone and Feistl will make their collegiate debut.
