The Braves men’s and women’s golf teams were both in action this weekend.
The women wrapped up regular season play at the Indiana State Spring Invitational in Terre Haute, Indiana, while the men travelled to Bloomington, Indiana, for the Hoosier Invitational, the second-to-last tournament before the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) Championships begin.
The women finished third overall out of 13 teams with a combined score of 618, right behind second-place William Woods at 616 and first-place Indiana State at 609.
Freshman Ally Scaccia was the highlight of the day for the Braves women. Her score of 149 on the two-round-par 72 was good enough to tie for second place in the individual standings, one shot behind the leader from Indiana State. After earning her first top-ten placement last weekend with a fifth place finish, Scaccia’s second place finish this weekend was her new career-best.
Another bright spot on the day was Junior Danielle Lemek. She tied for fifth in the field with a score of 152, whic was four shots off the lead. This was Lemek’s fourth consecutive top-ten individual finish, and her score of 79 on the second round was her 32nd-straight score in the 70s.
Junior Jenna Roadley missed a top-ten finish by just two strokes, finishing tied for 15th with a score of 156, which was her first top-20 finish of the season.
The men finished seventh overall out of 17 for the weekend, with a combined score of 876. Wisconsin came in first, followed by Cincinnati and Indiana to round out the top three spots.
Senior Danny Masrin tied for fifth at 212 (-1), five shots behind the leader from Xavier and the lowest 54-hole score of his career. It was Masrin’s first top-ten finish since last year’s MVC Championships.
Junior Lyle Burns tied for 17th at 217, which was four shots out of the top 10. The final round 69 was his fourth round in the last six under 70 and gives him six for the year, one short of the Bradley career mark of seven rounds in the 60’s.
Senior Seth Trolia finished 30th overall at 219. He shot a 79 the last round, his 21st consecutive round in the 70s and his 100th career sub-80 round.
Bradley’s women begin the MVC Women’s Golf Championship April 19-21 at Spirit Hollow Golf Course in Burlington, Iowa. Bradley will return to action at the Beu/Mussatto Invitational in Macomb, April 20 and 21.
