April 22, 2025 | Women's Golf
MUNCIE, Ind. - - For just the third time in program history, the Ball State women's golf team has a Mid-American Conference individual champion.
With a par on hole nine, her closing hole Tuesday, junior Jasmine Driscoll etched her name in both program and league history by carding a 54-hole score of +2 (218) at the Delaware Country Club to earn a one-stroke victory over a quartet of other players to claim the title of MAC Champion.
"What a great day for Ball State golf," head coach Cameron Andry exclaimed! "I couldn't be prouder of Jasmine! She handled the pressure of having at least a portion of the lead for a majority of the tournament. She executed down the stretch and played some incredible golf over 54 holes."
Along with her league title, Driscoll earns an individual berth into the NCAA Regionals with the selection show airing tomorrow (April 23) on the Golf Network at 1 p.m. ET.
Starting on hole 10, Driscoll briefly fell out of the lead after shooting six pars and three bogies on her opening nine to start the day at +3 (39). However, she found momentum with a birdie on hole one and added two more on holes four and five to build a two-stroke advantage.
Driscoll remained up two strokes with pars on six and seven, before a bogey on eight shrunk the lead back to one. Cue her par on nine to finish the round at +2 (74), then following scoring verification, a Ball State celebration.
"I also have to give a lot of credit to assistant coach Gala Dumez who walked every step of the way with Jasmine during the final round," Andry added. "Gala won the Big 12 championship as an individual a few years ago and I think her experience was invaluable and helping Jasmine manage everything that comes with playing at the top of the leaderboard today.
After tying the lowest opening-round in MAC Championships history with a -5 (67) on Sunday, she was tied for the lead after two rounds at E (144). She then closed the tournament at +2 (218) for the lowest individual score in program history at the MAC Championships. The effort also helped her earn MAC All-Tournament Team honors for the first time in her career.
The previous best was a +5 (149) by 2005 Champion Katie Sundberg, which was later tied by 2010 runner-up Brittany Kelly who fired a +5 (221). Ball State's other individual title was won by Jenna Hague who shot +7 (223) in 2012 and won the event with a birdie on a tie-breaking hole.
While Driscoll stole the show Tuesday, it was a gutsy performance from senior Sabrina Langerak that also helped the Cardinals climb two spots up the final team leaderboard. After shooting +19 over her first two rounds, Langerak tied for the second-lowest round of the day at -1 (71) to climb 14 spots up the final leaderboard and into 27th place overall at +18 (234).
Langerak's final round, which included three birdies and 13 pars, was Ball State's second-lowest round of the tournament.
Freshman Sophie Korthuijs also turned in her best round of the championship on Tuesday, tying Driscoll's final round at +2 (74). With the effort, which included three birdies, Korthuijs finished 35th overall over the three-day event at +21 (237).
Rounding out the Ball State lineup were junior Sarah Gallagher and sophomore JJ Gregston who each shot +5 (77) on the day. Gallagher's effort helped her finish tied for 16th overall at +12 (228), while Gregston finished tied for 39th at +24 (240). Gallagher's round included three birdies, while Gregston notched two.
Among the individual stat leaders, Driscoll finished with a tournament-best 12 birdies aided by an -4 (4.67) effort on the courses par 5s. Gallagher and Langerak each tied for 11th among the field with 32 total pars, while Driscoll carded 30.
Overall, the Cardinals turned in its best overall round of the tournament Tuesday, combining for a score of +8 (296). It was the fourth-lowest round of the day and tied as the fifth lowest of the tournament to help Ball State climb to fifth overall at +50 (914).
"I was really proud of the team as a whole in the final round," Andry said. "We had a couple of rough rounds on day one and day two but today, I thought we played much more like ourselves.
"Sabrina's final round 71 was great. It was great to see all of her effort paying off. I was proud of Sophie. She didn't have her best stuff this week, but she grinded it out today and fought for a 74. Sarah and JJ both gave us a great effort today and allowed us to have a really solid team score in the final round and move a couple spots up in the standings."
Kent State won its 26th consecutive title with a team score of +9 (873) to earn the league's automatic team berth into the NCAA Regionals. Bowling Green finished second at +37 (901).
The effort wrapped up a spectacular four days of action at the 2025 Mid-American Conference Championships hosted by the Delaware Country Club.
"I was proud of the Delaware Country Club and all its staff, as well as the Ball State staff and the way the championship was run over the last few days. I thought the golf course played really well and provided a great test for the MAC Women's Golf Championship."
