YORKTOWN, Ind. - The Fort Wayne women's golf team set multiple program records, including lowest team score for a 54-hole event, as the Mastodons carded a 956 to finish 16th at the Cardinal Classic.

Fort Wayne's two-day score of 956 broke the previous mark of 963 set at the 2012 Summit League Championship. The final-round team score of 316 also set a team record for best third round score and tied for the eighth lowest team round ever.

Candi Keller carded a 79 on the final day to shoot a 236 for the tournament and finish tied for 54th. Keller's 54-hole score is tied for the third lowest by a Mastodon golfer and tied for the lowest 54-hole score by a Fort Wayne senior.

Madison Chesnutt and Abigail Carlsen each shot a 77 on the final day to finish tied for 70th with scores of 240. For the duo, their final-round 77 is tied for the third lowest third round score in program history.
