ST. CHARLES, Mo. -- Missouri State's women's golf squad led start to finish and completed the Diane Daugherty Invitational here Tuesday with its first team title of the season. The Bears finished with scores of 300-297-307--904 to win it going away at the Bogey Hills Country Club.
It marked the third straight top-five team finish for coach Kevin Kane's squad which also claimed its first team title at an event since March of 2021.
South Dakota (304-306-311--911) took second place with Austin Peay (315-317-312--944) finishing some 40 strokes behind MSU for third place. The 16-team field also included eight other Missouri Valley programs, with Illinois State (949) being the next-closest in fourth place.
Individually, Missouri State finished with three players in the top 10, including third-place finisher Abby Cavaiani (76-71-75--222) whose final-round 75 put her just two strokes off the leader at the end of 54 holes. Junior Brooke Newell battled through the windy conditions on Tuesday to finish tied for fifth at 74-71-82--227, while Arielle Keating took seventh place with rounds of 73-81-76--230.
Austin Peay's Taylor Dedmen (74-73-73--220) overcame a two-stroke deficit on the final day to capture top individual honors, just a stroke ahead of South Dakota's Laerke Jensen (73-75-73--221) and two ahead of MSU's Cavaiani.
Also pushing the pack for the Bears were Allison Bray (234) who tied for 12th, and Kayla Pfitzner (236) who tied for 16th in the field of 96 individuals.
The Bears will be back in action April 11-12 at the ORU Spring Invitational in Broken Arrow, Okla., before wrapping the regular season at the MVC Championships in Kirkwood, April 17-19.
