Aces finish fall on a strong note
 For the second year in a row, the University of Evansville women’s golf team won the Charles Braun Jr. Intercollegiate while Kayla Katterhenry was the medalist at Oak Meadow Country Club.
After winning the event in 2015, the Purple Aces picked up right where they left off, defeating Butler by three strokes. Evansville notched a 617 and held off a charge by Butler, who finished with a 620. Indiana State came home in third place with a 622.
Katterhenry was medalist at the home event for the second season in a row. She held the lead after the first round and added to pick up one of the most impressive victories of her career. The senior carded a 2-under 70 in Monday’s opening round and lowered that by a stroke on Tuesday, notching a 69 to finish with a 139.
Tuesday’s effort for Katterhenry saw her defeat Butler’s Rachel Gathof by eight strokes.
Maria Pickens had a great finish to her fall season. A 75 in the first round, coupled with a 79 in round two, saw her tie for 6th place with a 154. Madison Chaney completed the event by tying for 26th place. She carded an 85 on Tuesday and finished with a total of a 162.
Maggie Camp improved as the tournament went along. She notched an 83 in the first round, but lowered her score to an 81 on Tuesday, completing the tournament with a 164 to tie for 30th. Giulia Mallmann totaled a 169 in her two rounds and tied for 41st.
Carly Waggoner was UE’s top individual. Her rounds of 87 and 86 saw her take 46th place with a 173. Lexie Sollman was one behind with a 174.
This was the final event of the fall for the ladies, who will be back on the course in March.
