YPSILANTI, Mich. - After breaking the program's 36-hole record on Monday, the Purdue Fort Wayne women's golf team broke the 54-hole record on Tuesday (Oct. 3) at the Shirley Spork EMU Invitational.

The Mastodons shot 302-293-306-901, topping the previous record set in 2022 by nine strokes. A 901 at the Horizon League Championship a year ago would have won the event by 13 strokes. The 'Dons beat reigning Horizon League champion Green Bay by 12 on Tuesday, along with a 24-shot edge on Cleveland State, which finished third at the league tournament last year.

Anna Olafsdottir led the Mastodons by shooting the second-best 54-hole mark in program history, second to only her own record from last fall. She finished the week with a 72-75-74-221 to record her first top-10 of the season and fifth in her career. She tied for eighth overall. Olafsdottir started her round with four pars. After going 3-over in the next four holes, she had seven pars and two birdies over the next nine holes.

Hunar Mittal had the best finish of her freshman season, shooting 78-70-75-223 to tie for 11th. This bested her previous best 54-hole mark by 24 shots. After starting round three with a pair of bogeys, she rattled off 10 holes of par or better, setting up for a 3-under back nine. She had birdies on holes 11, 16 and 17. She added two more pars to finish up the front nine for her 75.

A few shots back of Mittal, Olivia Jang finished in a tie for 20th at 75-73-79-227 in her best effort of the season. She had a birdie on hole 10 and just one hole over par on the back nine. She finished up her day with a par on hole five. Another few shots back, Adrienne Rohwedder shot 77-78-78-233 to tie for 35th, also her best finish of the year. Rohwedder had a birdie on hole 12 before a stretch of seven pars in eight holes. She finished the round with a birdie on hole seven.

Natalie Papa tied for 48th with an 81-75-83-239. She had nine pars in the final round. Lillie Cone shot 84-82-84-250 in round three to take 65th. She had five pars and a birdie on hole four.

The Mastodons took fifth place in the 11-team field, their best finish as a team this season. Oakland won the event with an 872, while Bowling Green's Ava O'Sullivan took medalist honors with a 208.

Purdue Fort Wayne will have a quick turnaround for their next tournament. They are set to compete in the Bradley Coyote Creek Classic on Saturday and Sunday (Oct. 7-8).
