FLORENCE, Ind. – Indiana State sits tied for fifth overall in the field at the NKU Fall Invitational through 32 completed holes on the day at the Belterra Golf Club. Sophia Florek made major strides on the day and was the only athlete to sit under par in the second round to sit tied for sixth overall in the field.
 
Play was delayed in the morning due to foggy conditions on the course which limited visibility and ultimately led the teams to suspend competition prior to the conclusion of the second round. Competition will resume on Tuesday morning with the shotgun start on the course at 8:30 a.m.
 
The Sycamores (+36) sit fifth overall in the team standings through the first day sitting ahead of Valley opponents Valparaiso (+66) and Evansville (+112), as well as Detroit Mercy (+40) and host Northern Kentucky (+47).
