WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Illinois State freshman Elise Fennell became just the seventh freshman in program history to earn a tournament medalist honor, as she carded a three-round 209, tied for the second-lowest tournament score in program history, and the lowest-ever by a Redbird freshman.
Fennell had rounds of 68, 70, and 71 en route to her 209, a stroke better than the previous freshman school record of 210 set by classmate Jessica Jolly at the Clash of Boulder Creek from October 20-22 this fall. She joins Brianna Cooper (2010-11), Samantha Richdale (2002-03), Suzanne Walker (1996-97), Jane Hawkins (1985-86), Karen Schulthes (1980-81), and Pam Tyska (1979-80) as the only freshmen to have earned medalist honors while as a member of the Redbirds.
