For the second consecutive day, a pair of freshmen sat atop the team leaderboard for the Valparaiso University women’s golf team on Sunday. Anna Fay (Ada, Mich. / Forest Hills) provided the team’s top score of the day at the Bradley Coyote Creek Classic, a two-day, 54-hole event hosted by the Braves at the par-72, 6019-yard Coyote Creek Golf Club in Bartonville, Ill. Valpo’s second-best Round-3 performance came from fellow freshman Madison Keil (LaGrange, Ind. / Lakeland), who achieved the team’s top overall score for the tournament.

How It Happened

• Fay enjoyed her second sub-80 round of the tournament, matching her Round-1 score with a 77 on Sunday. She finished the weekend at 236 (+20) to climb to t-41 on the overall leaderboard.
• Keil ended up as part of a tie for 38^th with her team-best 235 (+19). She stroked her second sub-80 round of the weekend with a 78 to close out the event on Sunday.
• Freshman Katie Schreiner (Fenton, Mo. / Summit) accounted for one of the four eagles in the tournament. She eagled the Par-4 eighth hole in Thursday’s final round.
• The remaining three Valpo golfers all carded 85s on Sunday.
• The team matched its Round-2 score with a 325 in Round 3 to total 966 (+102) over the 54 holes. The Beacons placed 11^th, just four strokes behind 10^th-place Western Michigan while owning a healthy 17-stroke edge on 12^th-place Chicago State.
• Xavier won the team title at 871, while Emma McMyler of the Musketeers took individual medalist honors at 206.

Thoughts from Head Coach Jill McCoy

“Anna and Madison did a great job of keeping the ball in play today. I’m very happy with their scores and the progress they have made during their first fall season.”

Up Next

The Beacons will close out the fall portion of the season at the Dayton Flyer Intercollegiate, which will take place on Oct. 18-19 at NCR Country Club in Dayton, Ohio.
