Junior JJ Gregston also turned in another solid round, finishing the day at +4 (76) to enter tomorrow's final round in 24th place at +6 (150). The highlight of Gregston's round came on the par-5, 470-yard ninth when she drained Ball State's first eagle of the spring.
The Cardinals also counted a +5 (77) from senior Jasmine Driscoll Saturday, which helped the squad finish the day at +13 (301). Overall, Ball State is fifth among the 19-team field with a score of +23 (599).
Xavier currently leads the event at +9 (585), followed by Bradley (+15; 591), Bowling Green (+19; 595) and Wichita State (+21; 597).
Driscoll collected her fourth birdie of the weekend on the par-5, 495-yard 14th. She is currently tied for 66th among the field at +13 (157).
The second day of competition also saw sophomore Sophie Korthuijs come in at +7 (79) and individual Jenna Estravillo shoot +6 (78). Korthuijs is 54th overall at +11 (155), while Estravillo is tied for 66th with Driscoll at +13 (157).
Aided by five birdies on the course's four par-5s Saturday, the Cardinals are currently second among the field with a par-5 average of 4.89 (-4).
