HOWEY-IN-THE-HILLS, Fla. - The Purdue Fort Wayne women's golf team tied its best finish at a league championship on Tuesday (April 25), taking sixth at the Horizon League Championship.
Anna Olafsdottir recorded the second-best individual performance at a league championship in program history, tying for 11th with a 76-81-75-232 three-day total. She started off her third round with a pair of pars, then dropped a birdie on hole 13. She traded pars and bogeys for the rest of the back nine. On the front, she played some of her best golf of the season, rattling off eight pars and just one bogey. On the last hole of the day, she tapped in for par, just narrowly missing the birdie chip-in. Her 11th-place finish is the best for a Mastodon at a league championship since 2014.
Arny Dagsdottir tied for 20th in her second league tournament. After a par, bogey, bogey start, Dagsdottir birdied the 13th hole to go back to 1-over. She parred her next four holes before a bogey on 18 to finish the back nine two-over. She had seven pars on the front nine, finishing her tournament at 79-82-78-239.
Laura Caetano (T-24) and Luiza Caetano (T-28) wrapped up their collegiate careers with their best championship performances as well. Laura finished with a 77-79-84-240 week, capped off with a third round with 12 pars. Luiza shot 83-84-79-245. Her final round featured birdies on holes 11 and 14 to go with 11 pars.
Finishing the tournament on a high note, Natalie Papa shot 92-83-81-256. The freshman shot an even back nine to start round three, which included birdies on 13 and 17.
The Horizon League individual champion was Cleveland State's Sabrina Coffman (220). Green Bay won the team title with a 914. The Mastodons finished the week at 315-325-312-952, topping Northern Kentucky and Detroit Mercy.
