Aces take team win and Katterhenry wins individual

  An historic day took place at Oak Meadow Country Club as the University of Evansville women’s golf team took top team honors and junior Kayla Katterhenry was medalist in the home tournament.

 

Due to the weather in the Evansville area, the second round was halted.  The teams began their second round in the morning, but the round was called a short time later due to the conditions.

 

For the women, it marked the second victory in program history.  The last came in 2008 as the ladies took top honors in the North/South Intercollegiate.  That day, Katie Schoener was the leader for UE, finishing second out of 68 participants.

 

Today, it was junior Katterhenry who led the way, picking up her third win of the season and the sixth of her career.  Katterhenry paced the individuals with the lowest round of the day on Monday, firing off an even 72.  Her score put her ahead of Lipscomb’s Miriam Parker, who posted a 73.  Marissa Uradomo of Indiana State finished third with a 74.

Her score also helped UE earn the team win while Butler took second with a 322 and Indiana State was next with a 323.  Northern Kentucky and Lipscomb were tied for 4th with a 325.

Giulia Mallmann and Maria Pickens finished the event in a tie for 10th place with scores of 81.  Next for UE was Maggie Camp with an 84 while Madison Chaney carded a 95 in the first round.  Camp’s score put her in a tie for 35th place overall.

Playing as an individual, Rachel Marchi had a stellar round, notching an 84 to tie for 35th.  Carly Waggoner also played and finished with a 93.
