Hoosiers travel to Ohio for Lady Buckeye Invitational

In its final tune-up before the Big Ten Championship tournament, the IU women’s golf team will head to Columbus, Ohio, for the Lady Buckeye Invitational.

IU did not compete in the tournament last year. The last time it attended was in 2007 when it tied for eighth. 

Laura Nochta and Anita Gahir, who finished in the top 40 in 2007, will be counted on to push IU further  this year.

Nochta and Gahir, both juniors, have each won Big Ten Women’s Golfer of the Week once this year, and both finished in the top 25 during a sixth-place finish at the IU Invitational.

The Lady Buckeye Invitational will leave the Hoosiers only five days to prepare for the Big Ten Championship. IU finished fourth last year in the conference tournament, earning a trip to the 2008 NCAA East Regional.
