Missouri State

Abby Cavaiani paced the Missouri State women’s golf team and the rest of the 2019 Missouri Valley Women’s Golf Championship to take the individual title last week. The freshman moved up two places during the final day, carding 1-over par 73 to conclude play with a 4-over par 220 three round score. For just the fourth time in league history, golfers were tied after the completion of 54 holes. Cavaiani edged out UNI’s Sydney Eaton on the second playoff hole to earn the championship. Cavaiani earned Newcomer of the Year credits and became the first MVC golfer since 2011 to earn medalist honors as a first-year MVC player.  Cavaiani was also a member of the league's 10-golfer All-Conference Team.
