BOARDMAN, Ohio – Indiana State women's golf recorded its best overall outing since the first week of October of last season in a fourth place finish at the Roseann Schwartz Invitational.
 
Juniors Yang Tai and Briana LeMaire accomplished a feat for the Sycamores that hasn't been done since April 2016. In the first round, both golfers finished one-under (71).

Not to be overdone, sophomore Rosalie DiNunzio carded a career low 72 in the second round, shaving off five strokes from the first 18. She beat her former low of 78 with an eagle on the 10th hole on day two and 21 pars between the two rounds.
 
Sophia Florek in her sophomore year tied her collegiate low with a 74 in the second round, shaving off six strokes between rounds one and two; Florek recorded the highest placement improvement for the Sycamores, jumping up 20 spots from day one to day two.

Cone's 82 in the second round was her lowest of the season, finishing the tournament 23-over. Baker rounded oud the squad finishing +24.


As a team, the Sycamores carded a 299 and 298, where the 298 ties the best collective round from last season that only occurred twice. Indiana State shot a 298 at the MVC Tournament in the third round and a 298 in the opening round of the Butler Invitational.
