Manon Tounalom leads Cardinals with second straight top-10 finish
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio -- The Ball State women's golf team dropped into a tie for sixth place Sunday to conclude play at Bowling Green's Dolores Black Falcon Invitational.
The Cardinals entered the final round tied for second place but struggled to a team score of 321 on Sunday. They finished with a 36-hole total of 627 (+51), six shots out of a top-3 result on a chilly weekend at Stone Ridge Golf Club.
Manon Tounalom led Ball State with a 75 on the final day to climb into a tie for 10th place individually with a score of 152 (+8). It was the second straight top-10 finish and third of the season for the sophomore from France.
UIndy, which began the day tied with BSU at two shots off the lead, jumped to the top of the 16-team leaderboard with a 294, the low round of the tournament by five strokes. The No. 2-ranked team in Division II finished three shots clear of overnight leader Toledo with a 36-hole total of 600 (+24).
Ball State also counted an 80 from Liz Kim and a pair of 83's from Morgan Nadaline and Emily Knouff in the final round.
Kim (+13) was the second BSU golfer on the final leaderboard in a tie for 27th. Sydney Anderson (+15) started the day in second place after opening with a 74 but dropped into a tie for 32nd after closing with an 85. Her sister Holly Anderson, competing as an individual, jumped up to match her after a closing 77.
Ohio's Emily Hughes came from five shots back to claim individual medalist honors. Hughes' final-round 67 was the best score of the tournament by a remarkable five shots as she climbed to even-par (144) to edge first-round leader Pinyada Kuvanun of Toledo by one shot.
Ball State now has one event remaining before the Mid-American Conference Championships. The Cardinals will tee it up next weekend at Purdue's Lady Boilermaker Classic on the Ackerman-Allen Course in West Lafayette, Indiana.
