For the first time this season, the Purple Aces men’s and women’s golf teams will be in action on the same weekend as they travel to the Butler Fall Invitational on Monday and Tuesday.
Highland Country Club in Indianapolis will play host to the event.
Junior Kayla Katterhenry improved to a perfect 2-0 this fall by winning the Loyola Fall Invitational last time out for the Purple Aces. Her 72 last Tuesday was the lowest round by any participant in the event as she was the only player to shoot a round under par. Coupled with her two rounds of 74 on that Monday, Katterhenry’s final day total of 72 helped her finish the event with a 1-over 220. It was six shots ahead of Chicago State’s Rachel Johnson, who finished with a 226.
Behind Katterhenry was Maggie Camp. The junior capped off the event with an 83 and finished with a 3-round total of 245. That placed her in a tie for 27th. One behind her was sophomore Giulia Mallmann, who also carded an 83 on Tuesday to finish with a 246. She tied for 29th. As a team, UE placed fourth out of the ten participating teams.
Earlier this week at the NKU Fall Collegiate Classic, the men came home in 8th place. Tyler Gray fired an even 71 to finish the tournament in a tie for 25th place with a score of 223. After identical rounds of 76 on Sunday, Gray improved by five strokes in the third round. Leading the Aces on the overall tournament leaderboard was Rick Voyvodic. After ranking in the top ten following the first day, the senior shot a 75 in round three to finish with a 218. He tied for 13th place.
Joseph Addante capped off the tournament with a 78. Coupled with his Sunday scores of 72 and 79, Addante posted a 229 to tie for 39th. One shot behind him was Will Knights, whose Monday round of 80 gave him a 230 for the event.
