Of the six golfers, the lowest four scores will count toward the total team score.\nIU will be part of a 14-team field that is highlighted by seven other Big Ten schools, the host Ohio State University and the University of Notre Dame. Rounding out the field are Kent State University, Eastern Michigan University, Ohio University, Western Michigan University and the University of Toledo.\nThe Lady Buckeye consists of three rounds of play.
