OMAHA, Neb. — UNI women's golf placed sixth at the Big O Classic after a shortened two-round tournament on Tuesday afternoon in eastern Nebraska.
Originally scheduled to be a 54-hole tournament hosted by Creighton, the event was shortened to just 36 holes on Tuesday after a lengthy rain and lightning delay during the third and final round.
The Panthers tallied a total team score of 631 as St. Thomas (Minn.) won the team title with a total score of 599. St. Thomas' Niki Reineke walked away with the individual title after shooting a 147 (+1).
Anna Jensen led UNI as she tied for 15th place shooting a 76 (+3) in the first round and sinking five total birdies in the tournament. Anna Nacos and McKenna Mallow both tied for 26th place after carding identical scorecards of 76 (+3) in the first round and 82 (+9) in the second round. Mallow's first round score marked a season-best for the Panther sophomore.
Allison Nuss finished in a tie for 42nd place with a 161 (+15), while Addison Berg, playing as an individual separate from UNI's five-person team, tied for 48th after shooting a 78 (+5) in Tuesday morning's second round, matching a season-best score. Victoria Hualde rounded out the Panther lineup in a tie for 51st place, scoring a 165 (+19) and an 80 (+7) in the second round of play.
