COLUMBIA, Mo. – After a near-program-record-low round in the second of three rounds of the Johnie Imes Invitational, the Illinois State women's golf team closed strong, and took fifth place of 14 schools, which is the best finish by a Redbird team at the event since the 2009-10 season.
The team's final-round 301 gave the team a three-round score of 891, the sixth time in team history that ISU has eclipsed the 900-stroke mark in a three-round tournament, and the third-lowest three-round score in school history, behind only the 876 from the Mid-American Challenge in 2020-21 and the 886 at the Shootout at the Legends event in 2005-06.
