LOUISVILLE, Ky. - After 54 holes, the Wisconsin women's golf team completed the Cardinal Cup on Sunday to wrap up its fall season.

The team finished the final day in seventh place after shooting an eight-over-par 296, the same score they took on Saturday. Overall, the Badgers finished with a 26-over 890 strokes, marking their first time finishing under 900 strokes for the season. They were also one of only five teams in the 17-team field to shoot under 300 all three days of the tournament.

Tess Hackworthy took the opportunity to step up during the Cardinal Cup. Leading the team through all three days, the senior made a statement on the final day with a one-under round of 71. She capped off a great tournament by finishing in a tie for sixth place. She also shot a career low 54-hole score with a 216, which was previously at 221.
