DANVILLE, Ind. (Sept. 24, 2017) - With two weeks left before the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) Championships, the North Central College women's golf team showed it is rounding into solid competitive form Saturday and Sunday, posting the best 18- and 36-hole rounds of the fall season in the Dan Quayle Collegiate Classic at Twin Bridges Golf Club.

The Cardinals matched a season best with a score of 334 in Saturday's first round, then outdid themselves by 10 strokes on Sunday to finish with a 36-hole score of 658, 20 strokes ahead of their previous season low. North Central placed sixth in a nine-team field, as Washington University in St. Louis posted a score of 616 to finish one stroke ahead of runner-up Wittenberg University.

Wittenberg's Jane Hopkinson-Wood won the individual competition by four strokes, carding a three over-par score of 147. Rainstar Roque achieved the Cardinals' highest finish, shooting 161 to place 20th overall, while Maggie Russell and Gillian Young tied for 27th (164) and Alex Brummer finished 35th (170). Brummer's second-round score of 78 was the Cardinals' best individual 18-hole score of the weekend.

North Central's final tune-up for the CCIW Championships will be on Monday at the Aurora University Fall Invitational, played at Blackberry Oaks Golf Club in Bristol.
