University of Southern Indiana Women’s golf collected a third tournament victory at the Quincy Invitational this afternoon behind a strong team outing for the Screaming Eagles. USI posted three top-five performances enroute to the tile at the Quincy-hosted tournament.

On top for the Eagles was senior Brooke Moser, who posted her fourth top-10 finish of the season and second top-five outing. Moser, a Leo, Indiana native, carded a 77-81 to lead her squad and nearly win her second tournament this year with a second-place finish. The senior recorded her second lowest round of the year and her lowest round since the Lady Panther Fall Tournament (77), which Moser won.

Narrowly behind Moser with a 77-83 was freshman Katelyn Sayyalinh, who finished third overall. Sayyalinh has made a major impact over the latter half of the season for the Eagles, besting her finishes each week. The freshman marked a career-best finish at the QUincy Invitational, her previous best was ninth (KWC Panther Invitational).

Rounding out the USI top-five finished was senior Grace Davis, who posted her fifth top-five finish of the season with a 83-83 (t-4th).

Junior Hannah Herma carded an 83-85 on the way to her best finish this season at sixth overall. The junior’s previous best finish was 12th at the Lewis Flyer Intercollegiate, which the Screaming Eagles also claimed victory at.

Freshman Halle Gutwein recorded her best finish since the Lewis Flyer Intercollegiate (10th) with a tied-for-13th placement. The freshman posted an 86-89 at the two-day outing.
