COLUMBUS, Ind. -- Senior Maggie Wood finished first for the University of Evansville and tied for 31st overall Tuesday in the field of 86 golfers at the Indiana University Invitational, played at Otter Creek Golf Club. The tournament was shortened to 36 holes after most of Monday's two scheduled rounds were postponed by stormy weather.
Wood concluded her opening round this morning by shooting 82, and followed with a 4-over-par 76 this afternoon to finish at 158. It was the third time in four tournaments this spring that Wood has been Evansville's leader. Lauren Ellerman and Alyssa Key tied for second and were 75th overall at 170. Louisville won the 15-team tournament with a score of 593, led by medalist Maria Castellanos, who shot 1-over-par 145.
The IU Invitational was Evansville's final tuneup for the State Farm Missouri Valley Conference Championship, which takes place in less than two weeks at Normal, Ill.
