CARMEL, Ind. – The No. 3-ranked UIndy women's team started its fall slate with a 16-stroke win at its annual UIndy Invitational, held Monday and Tuesday at Prairie View Golf Club in Carmel, Ind. Winning for the sixth time in its last seven tournaments at Prairie View, UIndy was led by all-tournament performers Anna Kramer (76-68-77) and Elyse Stasil (75-73-73).
 
The 14-team field featured some of the best competition in the region and beyond. Findlay (6th), Missouri-St. Louis (17th), North Georgia (18th), Grand Valley State (20th) and Lee University (23rd) all came into the week inside the WGCA's preseason top 25; while Carson-Newman, Central Missouri and Tiffin are each receiving votes.
 
UIndy built an 18-stroke lead through Monday's 36 holes and did more than enough to hold off the field Tuesday. Stasil carded her second straight 73 in the final round to move into the top five and match Kramer at +5 for the tournament. The pair – UIndy's only holdovers from last year's core lineup – shared third place among 84 student-athletes.
 
Competing in her very first collegiate tournament, freshman Anci Dy (74-72-82) finished at +12 as one of five golfers to share ninth place. Also in the top 10 was Katelyn Skinner (75-80-70), who placed seventh as an individual after a stellar final round.
 
NOTES
- Kramer matched her collegiate low with a four-under 68 in round two.
- Skinner eagled the par-5 13th on both Monday and Tuesday, holing out from nearly the same spot in back-to-back rounds.
- Both Catharina Graf and Maggie Schaffer's week including a two-over 74, each one good for a collegiate best. Schaffer enjoyed a particularly good stretch on Tuesday, shooting one-under on the front 9.
- Dy recorded a hole-in-one during Sunday's practice round, acing the 162-yard sixth.
- Freshman Ellen Caton joined Dy in her collegiate debut.
