ISU Extends Lead Heading to Final Day at MVC Championship

WATERLOO, Ill. – The Illinois State women's golf team has extended their lead over the field at the 2025 Missouri Valley Conference Championship to 20 strokes with 18 holes to play, as the Birds look to be the first school to win back-to-back conference titles since the 2017 and 2018 seasons.

The Redbirds have each of their five golfers tied for 10th or better in the field, lead by Jinyoung Yun and Elise Fennell who are each tied for second individually. In the second round, ISU shot a 289, tied for the third-lowest score in MVC Championship history, and the Birds now have two of the five lowest Championship single-round scores in conference history.
