Final Results

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Evansville junior Kayla Katterhenry posted a 2-over 74 to earn the fourth victory of her career at the Redbird Invitational at Weibring Golf Club.
 
Katterhenry paced the field with a 3-round total of 220, just four over par.  She held off Bradley's Ally Scaccia by just one stroke while Kiley Walsh from Illinois State came home third, just two off the win.
 
"I am pleased with how I was able to play this weekend," Katterhenry said.  "I was able to keep my concentration in some very warm conditions.  Keeping my shots in the fairway was very important and I also got a few breaks on some putts.  This is a great start and gives us all a lot of confidence going forward."
 
Head coach Jim Hamilton echoed those sentiments. 
 
"We are very proud of the way that Kayla performed in the tournament.  She was very confident going into the weekend and played like that," Hamilton said.  "A lot of credit also goes to assistant Quinn Vilneff.  He stayed with her today and helped her to stay focused and assist her in any way possible.  It was also a great start for the team as a whole.  We are very young and were able to improve in each round."
 
The Purple Aces shot their best round of the tournament on Monday, checking in with a 312 to finish in a tie for 13^th.  Katterhenry's final of 220 led the way while Maggie Camp finished behind her with a 242 to finish in a tie for 64^th.  She registered her best round of the event on Monday – a 79.
 
Third on the team was freshman Maria Pickens.  Pickens wrapped up her first collegiate event with a 246 thanks to an 83 in the last round.  Sophomore Giulia Mallmann saved her best for last.  Mallmann carded a 79 in the last round.  Rachel Marchi also had a stellar final round.  She had the lowest round of her career, finishing with an 80.  It eclipsed her previous best by seven strokes.  Individual Madison Cheney completed the tournament with a 246.
 
Bowling Green shot the lowest team round of the event to take the team championship.  The Falcons recorded a 293 to finish with a 905.  That came in eight strokes ahead of a second-place tie between Northern Illinois and Bradley.
 
The next tournament for the Aces will be on Sept. 21 and 22 when the squad heads to Flossmoor, Ill. for the Loyola Fall Invitational.
