Aces to play on Sunday and Monday
 Looking to build on a top five finish in the season opener, the University of Evansville women’s golf team continues its season this weekend at the Briar Ridge Invitational.
Briar Ridge Country Club in Schererville, Ind. is the host for the tournament. Play begins on Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. with two rounds on the slate before a final round of 18 on Monday. The final 18 holes begins with a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m. Par will be 72 and the yardage will be 6,086.
UE is one of six teams in the event, joining Northern Kentucky, IUPUI, Chicago State, Morehead State, Green Bay and host UIC.
The Purple Aces opened the season two weeks ago at the Roseann Schwartz Invite in Ohio. Alyssa McMinn tied for 10th place to help UE come home in a tie for fourth place. McMinn finished the tournament with a 2-over 74 to pick up the solid finish. Also earning a top 20 finish was Mallory Russell. Highlighted by a team-low 75 in the first day of the event, Russell finished with a score of 154 while tying for 18th place.
Just behind Russell was Allison Enchelmayer, who tied for 28th place. Her low round was a 76 in the first 18 on her way to a final tally of 156. Making the largest jump in between rounds was Caitlin O’Donnell. Following an 82 on the first day, O’Donnell lowered her second-round score by five strokes while battling her way to a tie for 37th. Lucia Pantigozo made her college debut in the tournament, tying for the 46th spot with a 163. A pair of consistent efforts helped Carly Frazier wrap up the season opener with a 165 following rounds of 81 and 84.
