INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana State golf wrapped up their second of four tournaments this fall, tying for seventh place out of 14 teams. Indiana State shot a 909 (300-303-301) for a three-round score of +64. Highland Golf Club is a par-70 course ranging 6,040 yards.
 
The Sycamores nearly mirrored the team scores from 2024 (+64, 300-303-301). The difference was the team placement, this year finishing tied in seventh beating last year's placement of 11th. Indiana State tied MVC-foe Belmont in seventh place and beat UIC by eight strokes.
 
Yang Tai was the lowest finisher for Indiana State, finishing in sixth place. The senior's finish is the lowest at this tournament for Indiana State since Lauren Green and Madison Branum went five-six in the fall of 2021.
 
In the opening round, Tai (+8, 73-69-76) finished with three birdies on the front nine to open a stellar day-one performance, finishing the second round of 18 one-under. She parred 15 holes and used two birdies to sit tied for fifth place after the first two rounds. She followed with a consistent performance in round three to finish sixth in the tournament.
 
Freshman Keira Brazeau (+12, 71-77-74) also used a trio of birdies in the first 18 to sit only one-over to sit in 19th place after the opening day, pairing with Tai to be the two Sycamores sitting inside the top 20 in a field of 80-plus golfers. Her four-over third round was enough to bump her up in the standings to finish tied for 15th in the field.
 
Sophia Florek carded a 229 (+19, 76-76-77) to finish in the top half of the field, tying for 35th. Alana Gilbert (+25, 80-81-74) finished the tournament with a strong round three, moving her up nine spots from round two to round three. Gabby Cone finished with a score of 246 (+36, 81-81-84).
