BATAVIA, Ohio - Thanks to a 79-76-77-232 tournament, Purdue Fort Wayne's Lillian Gottman tied for 10th place at the NKU Julie Invitational on Tuesday (March 24), giving the junior her first top-10 finish of the season.
In her final round of the event, Gottman turned in a scorecard with 12 pars and a birdie. The birdie came on hole three, in the middle of a seven-hole bogey-free stretch. While Tuesday was her first top-10 of the year, it was her fourth as a Division I student-athlete.
Playing as an individual, Lara Dommach was the Mastodons' second-best finisher, shooting 78-80-79-237 for 21st place. Her final round featured eight pars and was highlighted by back-to-back birdies on holes four and five.
Emily Gottman shot 87-75-79-241, good for 28th place. The freshman put together a 12-par performance on Tuesday and wrapped up the round with a birdie on hole nine, the 379-yard par-4.
Fresh off her Horizon League Golfer of the Week performance, Natalie Papa shot 83-78-82-243, which put her in 36th place. She was 1-under in her last nine holes of the day thanks to birdies on holes one and three.
Hunar Mittal shot 89-82-79-250 for 54th place. She also birdies holes one and three, while also snagging one on hole eight.
Louise Ekesall was the last firing for the team score, and she shot 86-82-84-252 for 58th. The sophomore had 11 pars in round three.
Like Dommach, Lillie Cone also played as an individual, shooting 93-82-82-257, which was good for 59th.
As a team, the Mastodons shot 335-311-317-963 for ninth place, topping Horizon League foe Detroit Mercy in the process. Oakland won the event with a 913.
Purdue Fort Wayne will be back in action on April 12-13 at the Boilermaker Spring Classic in West Lafayette, Indiana.
