PROSPECT, Ky. - The Purdue Fort Wayne women's golf team was just one shot behind Oakland and beat three other Horizon League programs at the Nevel Meade Collegiate on Tuesday (March 21).
Oakland, who was picked to finish second in the Horizon League, shot 632 to place fifth. The Mastodons were one shot back with a 633. The 'Dons beat Cleveland State (638), Northern Kentucky (652) and Detroit Mercy (653). Purdue Fort Wayne's second round of 307 was the second-best in the field on Tuesday, only behind Central Michigan's 305. The Chippewas won the event with a 602.
Anna Olafsdottir moved up 16 spots on the leaderboard, moving into a tie for 14th after her 80-75-155. She rebounded from two bogeys to start the round with a par and a birdie on her next two holes. Before she made the turn to the front, she birdied hole 18, the 428-yard par-5.
Laura Caetano was one shot back of Olafsdottir to tie for 17th place. After a bogey to open the round, Caetano rattled off five pars in a row. The senior from Brazil had two birdies after making the turn to the front nine, coming on holes two and five. She finished her round with seven bogey-free holes, starting with the birdie on five.
Luiza Caetano and Arny Dagsdottir tied for 32nd with a pair of 161's. Caetano parred her opening hole, then birdied 14 two holes later. She was even after five holes. She had six pars on the front nine to finish her tournament with an 81-80-161. Dagsdottir had nothing worse than a bogey on Tuesday, firing a 77 to improve upon her first round of 84. She had 11 pars and a birdie on hole six.
Natalie Papa shot 86-83-169 to tie for 61st. She had seven pars.
Purdue Fort Wayne's 633 was good for sixth overall in the 13-team field.
The Mastodons will be off until April 15, when they will head to Carmel, Indiana to play in IUPUI's Lady Jaguar Invitational.
