BOARDMAN, Ohio - The Purdue Fort Wayne women's golf team finished as the runner-up at the Roseann Schwartz Invitational on Monday (Sept. 23), matching the program's 36-hole record in the process with a 595.
The only team to top the Mastodons were the host Youngstown State Penguins. The Penguins shot 586.
Natalie Papa and Hunar Mittal both finished tied for 10th with a two-day total of 149. This is Papa's first top-10 finish and Mittal's fifth of their careers. The 149 mark is Papa's best 36-hole score of her career. Papa's final round of 78 was highlighted by a pair of birdies on 13 and 18. She had a stretch of four pars on the front and a five-hole bogey-free stretch on the back from 12-16. Mittal had birdies on seven and 11, with nothing worse than a bogey all day. She finished her round of 76 with five pars in a row.
Olivia Jang and Louise Ekesall tied for 14th with a pair of 77-73-150s. Jang had three birdies in round two coming on three, 15 and 18. She had nothing worse than a bogey, resulting in an even front and 1-over back nine. Ekesall was 4-under in a three-hole stretch on the front. After four pars to start, she had two bogeys. Before making the turn, she had an eagle on seven then back-to-back birdies on eight and nine. She also had a birdie on 15 to set the stage for her 1-over effort.
Lillian Gottman did not have her score taken on Monday, firing a 76 to total 152 to tie for 20th. She had a birdie on each side, dropping birdies on nine and 15, both par-5s. She had six pars in the opening seven holes, then had six more of par or better in the final seven.
Lara Dommach competed as an individual, turning in a 77-88-165. She tied for 59th.
