The Valparaiso University women’s golf team competed in the first two rounds of the Missouri Valley Conference Championship on Sunday, hosted by UNI at the par-72, 6188-yard Annbriar GC in Waterloo, Ill. The Beacons were led by Katie Schreiner (Fenton, Mo. / Summit) on the first day of action. The teams were originally scheduled to play 18 holes each day through Tuesday, but due to the weather forecast that plan was tweaked to create a 36-hole day on Sunday.

How It Happened

• Schreiner had a strong opening round with a 77, the best score of the day by a Beacon. She finished the day at 159 (+15), tied for 40^th in a 60-player field.
• Valpo’s second and third best scores came from juniors Madison Keil (LaGrange, Ind. / Lakeland) and Anna Fay (Ada, Mich. / Forest Hills), who finished with 36-hole scores of 164 and 165, respectively. Keil had a team-high four birdies.
• Valpo completed Day 1 with a team score of 660 (+84), ranking 12^th on the team leaderboard. The Beacons golfed a 323 in Round 1 before a 337 in Round 2.
