ANGOLA, Ind. – The Calvin University women's golf team reached the midway point of conference play with a sixth-place finish at Tuesday's MIAA Jamboree #3 hosted by Trine University at Zollner Golf Course.
Andrea Diemer (Wyoming, Mich./Calvin Christian) led the way for Calvin with a 2-over par round of 74 to finish in a four-way tie for first place medalist honors at the event after carding three birdies in her round.
As a team, the Knights took sixth place with a total of 331 to set a new season best for conference rounds this year. Kalamazoo College won the event with a team score of 315 strokes, followed by Adrian College (316) and Trine (320) in the top three.
Ava McConnon (Grand Rapids, Mich./NorthPointe Christian) followed Diemer with a round of 83, while
Ashley Diovardi (Northville, Mich./Detroit Country Day) shot 86 and
Lana Moore (Rockford, Mich./Rockford) shot 88 to round out the Calvin top four.
The Knights entered the day in eighth place in the league standings and moved into seventh (past Alma College) with an average team score of 342.67 strokes per round in MIAA play. Diemer moved her MIAA scoring average to 78.67 through three events.
COACH'S COMMENT: "Stellar day from
Andrea Diemer to lead the team," head coach
Jerry Bergsma said. "We were unable to post other low scores that would have moved us up in the conference standings but hopefully our young group can keep learning from this valuable experience. One more conference round will wrap up the fall portion of our schedule."
NEXT UP: Calvin women's golf will close its fall season on Monday, October 12, when it competes in MIAA Jamboree #4 at Warren Golf Course in Notre Dame, Indiana.
