Warke also claims three top-five individual finishes this season while placing second at the FDU Invitational on April 2-3. Victoria Schroedl displayed a strong sophomore campaign, logging a 78.1 stroke average to pair with a season low round of 71 (-1) at the Sacred Heart Invite. Anete Adul finishes regular-season play with a stroke average below 80 in six total rounds during her freshman debut. Haley Baker and Nicola Smith have also been crucial support players this season, competing in a combined eight total rounds this spring.
