The Eastern women’s golf team wrapped up tournament play on Tuesday with a 17th place finish out of 18 teams and a two-day score of 673 at the Dayton Fall Invitational.

For the fourth consecutive tournament, junior Tiffany Wolf was the low-scorer on the team with a 162. Wolf tied for 35th overall at the NCR Country Club in Dayto, Ohio.

Freshman Lexi Hammerton scored just one shot higher than Wolf with a 163 leaving her with a share of 40th.

Senior Elyse Banovic shot 170 leaving her tied at 72nd overall.

Shooting a two-day score of 178 was freshman Alex Pickens giving her sole possession of 89th.

Finishing tied for 93rd with a score of 182 was freshman Erika von Ittler.

Banovic said she was not satisfied by the team’s performance, but that the team will be ready to redeem itself come the spring season.

“We didn’t play very good,” Banovic said. “I think we are all looking for an opportunity to redeem ourselves.”

Detroit took home first place honors for the invitational shooting a 610, which was nine strokes better than second place Evansville and 12 strokes better than tournament-host Dayton.

Chicago State finished fourth with a two-day score of 630, while Marshall finished just one stroke behind at 631 placing them fifth.

Loyola finished with tournament score of 633 leaving them in sixth. Northern Kentucky took seventh at 641.

Valparaiso finished eighth shooting a 644, and right behind them was IPFW at 645. On the tail of IFPW came St. Francis of Pennsylvania shooting 646 finishing 10th.

Robert Morris, of Pennsylvania, Dayton B, and IUPUI tied for 11th with equal scores of 649. Southern Illinois-Edwardsville finished 14th shooting a two-day score of 654.

Ten strokes behind Edwardsville was Youngstown State and Illinois-Chicago at 664, leaving both teams with a share of 15th. Green Bay finished last with a tournament score of 681.

Going into the offseason, the Panthers will be working hard to get ready for the spring, Banovic said.

“During our offseason, we will individually practice and work on our swing and work on short game if we get the opportunity,” Banovic said. “We also have work outs.”

The Dayton Fall Invitational was the last tournament for the women during the fall portion of the season. The team will resume play in the spring of 2014.
