Reisinger-led Ramblers make big strides at Butler Invitational

INDIANAPOLIS, IN. – In the penultimate event of their fall season, the Loyola Chicago women's golf team placed ninth out of 17 teams at the Butler Invitational.

The Ramblers finished the tournament with a team score of 51 over par (+25, +10, +16). The team's second-round performance of 10 over par was Loyola's best round of the season and was also the tournament's best in that round. Youngstown State took the team victory with a score of 23 over par, while Butler's Kelli Scheck took the individual playoff title with a score of 1 over par.

“Overall, I felt like we did a lot of good things over the last two days,” said head coach Brandy Johnston. “In the opening round we struggled on the back nine, which hurt us in the standings, but we bounced back in the second round with our best team result of the season. Today we fought and made some pars, which was great to see.”

For the second time this season, Loyola was led by Senior Cate Reisingerwho finished the Butler Invitational in a tie for sixth place with a score of six over par (+3, -1, +4). Reisinger's performance in this tournament was marked by a number of successes. Her sixth-place finish was a career-best, and her second-round performance of 69 strokes under par was the lowest-scoring round of her college career.

“Cate had another strong performance this week. She plays with a lot of confidence on the greens and that is reflected in her results. I look forward to seeing what she can do at our home tournament next week.”

Furthermore, in the second year Grace Durkin finished with a score of 16 over par (+6, +5, +5), a new career-best 54-hole score over par. Durkin finished the Butler Invitational in 48th place. Freshmen Grace Hui was the Rambler's second-best finisher in the event with a score of 14 over par (+9, +2, +3), which earned her a tie for 40th.

senior Jolie Brochu recorded a score of 17 over par (+9, +4, +4) and finished in a tie for 49th place. Second semester Cassie Psuik finished in a tie for 59th place with a score of 20 over par (+7, +7, +6). Finally, newbie Madison Haugenwho played as an individual, finished the tournament with 25 over par (+4, +10, +11).

The Ramblers' next event will be their home invitational next week during fall break. The Loyola Parkinson Family Invitational will be held October 7th and 8th at the Merit Club in Libertyville, Illinois.
