Women's Golf has Another Record Day at Diamante Intercollegiate

HOT SPRINGS VILLAGE, Arkansas - - It was another record-setting day for the Ball State women's golf team as it finished the second round of the Diamante Intercollegiate with a new program standard for team scoring after 36 holes at -2 (574).

One day after turning in the lowest team round in program history, at -6 (282), the Cardinals shot +4 (292) Monday to break the previous 36-hole mark of +3 (579) set over the first two rounds of the 2024 Brittany Kelly Classic.

"Today was another really solid day," head coach Cameron Andry said. "The golf course played significantly more difficult than yesterday. It was windier and many of the hole locations were in more difficult spots. Thanks to our all-around solid play, we've gotten ourselves right in the mix heading into the final round which is all you can ask for."

The combined effort on the 72-par, 6,051-yard course at the Diamante Country Club marks the first time in program history the Cardinals have been below par as a team after the first two rounds of a tournament.

Overall, Monday's team total tied as the fourth-lowest round among the 18-team field and helped Ball State remain tied for third overall. Boston College remained the tournament's overall leader at -15 (561), while Memphis continues to hold second at -3 (573).

Leading the way for Ball State in Monday's second round was senior Jasmine Driscoll who tied the team's second lowest round of the tournament at -2 (70). The effort, which included four birdies and a back nine played at -2 (34), helped her climb 41 spots up the leaderboard into a tie for 24th at +2 (146).

Senior Sabrina Langerak turned in Ball State's second-lowest scorecard Monday, coming in at +1 (73), moving her two-day total to -1 (143) which is tied for 11th overall among the 108-golfer field.

Senior Sarah Gallagher is also tied for 11th overall, following her collegiate-low round of -4 (68) yesterday with a +3 (76) today for a total of -1 (143). Langerak and Gallagher are two of only 15 players under par after the first two rounds of the tournament.

Rounding out Ball State's countable scores Monday was a second-straight round of +2 (74) from sophomore Sophie Korthuijs. The effort helped her climb 13 spots up the leaderboard into a tie for 38th at +4 (148).

Despite a round of +8 (80) Monday, junior Jenna Estravillo is tied for 51st overall at +6 (150) after her collegiate-low round of -2 (70) Sunday. The effort places all five of Ball State's team competitors in the top half of the field.

On the individual front, senior Madelin Boyd turned in a second consecutive round of +4 (76), while Skylar Dean finished her second tour of the Diamante Country Club at +5 (77).

As a team, the Cardinals rank fourth among the 18-team field with a par-5 average of 4.85 (+5). Ball State is also fifth among the field with 30 total birdies, led by eight from Langerak and seven from Gallagher. Dean also has seven total birdies playing as an individual.

The final round of the Diamante Intercollegiate is set to start at 9 a.m. ET / 8 a.m. CT Tuesday. Six Cardinals are set to tee off starting at 9:45 a.m. ET / 8:45 a.m. CT on hole 10, while Dean will go off hole one at 10:30 a.m. ET / 9:30 a.m. CT.
