TOLEDO, Ohio – Indiana State women’s golf completed the Toledo Rocket Classic in one day, as day two was canceled due to inclement weather and standing water on the course.
The Sycamores ended the tournament in second place after two rounds, only one stroke away from tying the leader, Ohio University. Indiana State shot a 614 (+38, 311-309) to fall only one stroke away from what would have been their third team win since the start of last season.
