The ISU women’s golf team finished sixth at the Lady Buckeye Invitational during the weekend.

The two-day tournament was the last regular season match before the Big 12 and regional, national championships.

The No. 15 Cyclones faced tough competition at Lady Buckeye, including last year’s national champions, Purdue.

Play started at 8 a.m. Saturday. The Cyclones started off the first round with a 310, but went downhill from there. They fired a 318 in the second round later in the afternoon. The final round started Sunday morning, and the Cyclones were unable to get their game flowing, shooting a 320 to wrap up the Lady Buckeye Invitational with a 948 team total.

Michigan State took first place with a total score of 918. Kent State, Wisconsin, Ohio State (host of the tournament) and Northwestern rounded out the top five.

The Cyclones were coming off a win at their last tournament, the Mountain View Collegiate Invitational.

Senior Laurence Herman led the Cyclones shooting a 75-79-79, totalling a 233, to tie for eighth place individually. It marks the 12th top-10 finish of her career.

Sasikarn On-iam tied for 11th with a 234. Prima Thammaracks shot a 241 to tie for 28th. Victoria Stefansen tied for 32nd with a 242. Punpaka Phuntumabamrung finished 55th with a 250 and Kristin Paulson shot a 256 to tie for 64th.

The Cyclones are back in action April 22-24 for the Big 12 Championship Meet in Columbia, Mo.
