Aces head to Ohio 

 The new season begins on Monday for the University of Evansville women’s golf team as they travel to the Roseann Schwartz Invitational at Mill Creek Park Golf Course in Boardman, Ohio.

The event will feature nine other schools including Wheeling Jesuit, Indiana State, Saint Francis (Pa.), Marshall, Dayton, Niagara, Akron, Youngstown State and Cleveland State. This will be the largest field of teams the event has ever featured.

Set to be played on Mill Creek Park’s North Course, the teams will play single rounds on Monday and Tuesday. Monday’s round is set to start at 10 a.m. with tee times going until 1 p.m. Tuesday’s tee times are scheduled from 8 to 9:30 a.m. The course will play 6,023 yards and par is 72.

Purple Aces mainstays Kayla Katterhenry and Maggie Camp have graduated and UE will now look to Maria Pickens, Giulia Mallmann, Madison Chaney and Lexie Sollman to take the helm of the squad.  Pickens is the highest returning player as she average 83.53 stroke per round last season.  Her top effort last year came at the Braun Invitational as she tied for 6th place.

Chaney averaged 84.25 strokes while Mallmann finished her junior campaign at 84.64 strokes.

UE also welcomes newcomers Minka Gill and Sophia Rohleder to the team.  Gill is a native of Kokomo, Ind. where she attended Western High School.  Rohleder is from Evansville and played at Mater Dei.
