After heavy rain forced an early end to the invitational, the Badgers finished fifth out of 14 teams. Newcomer junior Natasha Lopez Moreira (Asuncion, Paraguay) fared the best of any UW golfer, finishing in a tie for seventh with a score of 149. Lopez Moreira comes to Wisconsin after transferring from the University of Richmond.
Sophomore Kelsey Verbeten (Green Bay, Wis.) was not far behind with her tie for 13th place. She finished the invite with a 152 while senior Katie Elliot (Madison, Wis.) scored a 156 for a tie at 27th place.
