Driscoll Ties For Fifth At Loyola Parkinson Family Invitational
October 10, 2023 | Women's Golf
LIBERTYVILLE, Ill. - - Ball State sophomore women's golfer Jasmine Driscoll turned in another solid round Tuesday, shooting an even-par 72 to climb three spots and finish tied for fifth overall at the Loyola Parkinson Family Invitational.
It was the Cardinals' best individual round of the tournament and helped Driscoll finish four shots back of first place at 226 (+10). Pusanisa Ekkantrong of Cal Baptist won the tournament a 222 (+6), while a trio of players finished second at 225 (+9), one stroke ahead of Driscoll.
As a team, Ball State turned in their best round of the two-day, 54-hole tournament at the Merit Club, shooting 306 to finish eighth overall at 950 (+86). It was the fourth-best round of the day among the 12-team field.
"There are some positives to build on, especially from today's round," head coach Cameron Andry said. "This event, on a challenging golf course, really taught us some hard lessons about what it looks like to compete with toughness and composure when conditions are challenging."
Freshman JJ Gregston also turned in her best round of the event Tuesday, shooting a 77 (+5) to move up four positions into a tie for 13th at 233 (+17) among the 80-golfer field.
Sophomore Sarah Gallagher also closed with a final-round 77 (+5), tying her second round from yesterday, to improve eight positions and move into a tie for 38th at 241 (+38).
North Dakota State, the leader after Monday's opening two rounds, would go on to win the event at 914 (+50). Ball State's final-round 306 was five strokes better than NDSU's closing score of 311.
The Ball State women's golf team closes its 2023 fall slate Oct. 22-24 at the Diamante Intercollegiate hosted by Little Rock at the Diamante Country Club in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
