RICHMOND, Ky.—The UIndy women's golf team battled to a second-place finish at the Findlay Spring Invite Monday and Tuesday. Ranked No. 6 in the latest WGCA DII Poll, UIndy was one of three top-10 teams at the tournament, joining host and team-champ Findlay and third-place Anderson University (S.C.).

The 15-team event was held at Boone's Trace National Golf Club in Richmond, Ky.
 
INS & OUTS
Sitting in third place and facing a 13-stroke deficit heading into the final round, the Greyhounds orchestrated a furious comeback. The team combined for a one-over 289 Tuesday, leapfrogging Anderson and nearly overtaking the host Oilers. But the comeback bid fell one stroke short, as the Hounds would have to settle for second.

Freshman Jess Haines led the way for the Greyhounds with an all-tournament performance. The rookie from Somerset, England fired scores of 72-73-73 to finish at +2 and take the runner-up spot—three strokes back of medalist Mary Kelly Mulcahy of Findlay.
 
Three more Hounds finished in the top 10. Freshman Caroline Whallon (+8) tied for sixth while Anci Dy (+10) and Alice Webb (+10) shared ninth. The latter two each highlighted their week with a one-under 71, with Webb carding hers in the first round and Dy in the final.
 
Matilda Cederholm (+13) used a final-round 72 to slide into the top 20. Individuals Macey Brown (+18) and Ava Ray (+29) finished at T-33 and T-49, respectively.
