FARMINGTON, PA – The UIndy women's golf team had its best appearance of the 2025-26 season to date with a second place finish, and three All-Tournament honorees; Caroline Whallon, Macey Brown and Paige Giovenco.

The last time the Hounds had three All-Tournament honorees in one tournament was during the 2023-24 season at the NC4K Classic. UIndy's second place finish continues its recent run of dominance under the helm of second year coach Andy Serketich, garnering the team's ninth top three finish in the last two seasons.

This week's event was held at the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort on the Mystic Rock Golf Course.

INS & OUTS
The standout freshman, Giovenco, added another second place finish in her short time as a Greyhound. Her other second place finish came at the highly accredited Folds of Honor Challenge in September. Giovenco shot a two-under final round, which was only the second under par round of the entire week. Her final round vaulted her 16 spots to a solo second place (+12).

Giovenco also ranked top-10 for the field this week in par-3 (+3), par-4 (+8), and par-5 (+1) scoring.

Whallon captured a third place (+13) finish, which is her best finishing position since claiming a first place at last season's GLVC Championship stroke play event. Whallon never fell outside of the top five after any of the three rounds this week, and carded two rounds of 76, and a final round 77. Whallon made her mark on the course this week on the par-3s, and par-4s, ranking second and fourth respectively in those categories.

Rounding out the final All-Tournament member for the Greyhounds was Brown, who placed T4 (+14). Brown bested her score each round, concluding her tournament with a final round, 72 (+2). Her tournament was highlighted by an eagle on the 16th hole in the second round, and a second place scoring average on the par-5s (E) this week. Today's fourth place finish is the third top-10 for Brown on the season.

Freshman Valentina Cortez also had another strong showing this week with a T16 (+20) finish. Today's top-20 is her best finish of her first season with the Greyhounds.

Ava Ray was the final member of the Hounds' five person team for the week, and finished with a T35 (+32) three round score.
