 NORMAL, Ill. – Finishing with the 7th-best team score of the day, the University of Evansville women’s golf team jumped two positions to finish in 11th place at the Redbird Fall Invitational.

Picking up the top finish for the Purple Aces was freshman Destynie Sheridan.  Following rounds of 77 and 80 on Sunday, Sheridan wrapped up Monday’s round at Weibring Golf Club with a 76 and earned a 36th-place tie with a 233.

Mallory Russell registered UE’s low round on Monday, shooting a 3-over 75.  The junior improved in each round, making the jump from an 83 to a 77 before her effort in the final round.  Her final tally of 235 put her in 46th.  Finishing one behind her was Kate Petrova.  Taking part in her first collegiate tournament, Petrova tied for 47th with a 236.  Her top round came in Sunday’s opener when she paced Evansville with a 75.  Petrova totaled 78 strokes in the final round.

Allison Enchelmayer was next for UE.  Her low round of the weekend saw her record a 77 to finish the three rounds with a 240.  She tied for 60th.  Magdalena Borisova carded an 83 in the final round and completed the tournament with a score of 252.

Evansville came home in 11th place in the team standings after jumping fellow Missouri Valley Conference teams Northern Iowa and Indiana State.

Butler took the top team and individual honors.  The Bulldogs finished just one shot ahead of Eastern Kentucky with an 898.  EKU made a charge in the final round, scoring a 302, but a 304 by the Bulldogs in the final day clinched the victory.  Reese Wilson of Butler was the medalist.  A 1-over 73 on Monday saw her finish with a 215, which was three in front of her nearest competition.

In two weeks, the Aces will be back in action at the UIC Fall Invite.  It will take place on Sept. 25-26.
