USI Women’s Golf moves up one spot in regional rankings

University of Southern Indiana Women’s Golf moved up a spot to No. 3 in the latest NCAA Division II East Regional Rankings.

The Screaming Eagles are riding a three-tournament win streak as they head into the Great Lakes Valley Conference Championship this weekend at Annbriar Golf Course in Waterloo, Illinois. USI is one of seven teams in the top 14 of this week’s ranking.

The University of Indianapolis and the University of Missouri-St. Louis were second and fifth, respectively, while the University of Illinois Springfield, William Jewell College, Lewis University, and Drury University were 10^th, 11^th, 12^th, and 13^th, respectively.

USI is looking for its second GLVC championship in program history and its first since 2011. The Eagles have had the last two individual medalists in senior Anastasia Carter (Granger, Indiana) and junior Allison Koester (Wadesville, Indiana). Carter captured the individual title in 2014, while Koester earned the conference championship in 2015.
