SPRINGFIELD, Ill.—The UIndy women's golf team extended its season Wednesday with a runner-up showing at the NCAA DII East Regional. The Greyhounds were one of six teams to advance, punching their ticket to Eureka, Mo., for next week's NCAA DII Championships.
UIndy secured its 11th consecutive trip to Nationals with a final-round team score of 292 to finish the week at +11, 19 strokes ahead of third-place Grand Valley State. Both teams will be moving on to the DII Championships next week, however, as will East-champ Findlay, Wayne State, Tiffin and Missouri-St. Louis. The three-day, 54-hole regional was held at Panther Creek Country Club in Springfield, Ill.
The Hounds were led by co-medalist
Elyse Stasil (-2). The fifth-year senior fired a final-round 68—lowest 18-hole score on the week—to vault eight spots on the final day and share the top spot on the leaderboard. She tied for first with Findlay's Gabby Woods and Wayne State's Rebeca Vestman, with Woods later birdying the first tiebreaker hole to win the hardware.
Anci Dy also had a great week, finishing at -1 to share fourth place. Her first-round 69 gave the Greyhounds a big boost earlier in the week. Senior
Catharina Graf (+5) held on to 10th place with a final-round 73. Senior
Katelyn Skinner (+11) finished T-22 and freshman
Ava Ray settled at T-42.
The NCAA DII Championships are scheduled for May 16-20 at Fox Run Golf Course just outside of St. Louis.
ROUND 2
The UIndy women's golf team had another solid day on the course Tuesday, tightening their grip on second place at the NCAA DII East Regional. Sophomore
Anci Dy remained at the top of the individual leaderboard as one of four Greyhounds in the top 15.
Dy followed her opening-round 69 with a one-under 71 on Tuesday, maintaining a one-stroke lead over the field. Fifth-year senior
Elyse Stasil (+2) made it back-to-back 73s to climb into sole possession of ninth. Senior
Catharina Graf (+4) dipped to T-10, while classmate
Katelyn Skinner (+5) is one stroke back at T-15. Freshman
Ava Ray (+17) is now at T-49.
ROUND 1
The UIndy women's golf team is well positioned after Monday's opening round of the NCAA DII East Regional. With sophomore
Anci Dy topping the individual leaderboard, the Greyhounds combined for a two-under 286 – two strokes back of team-leader Findlay and seven ahead of third-place Wayne State.
Dy fired a three-under 69 as one of 10 golfers to finish day one at par or better. She found herself at +1 after six holes but finished on a bogey-free tear over the final 12 holes to set a collegiate low.
Senior
Catharina Graf also hung a red number of the board, as her one-under 71 is good for a share of sixth place.
Elyse Stasil and
Katelyn Skinner are tied for 11th at +1, while freshman
Ava Ray (+8) sits at T-40.
