Team places second in invitational

Rain washed away IU's hopes of winning the Peggy Kirk Bell Invitational March 12, but the Hoosiers managed a second-place finish, one stroke behind Big Ten rival Michigan State. \nOfficials decided not to play the second round and used the scores from the first round of competition. \nAll five Hoosiers finished in the top 20 individually, with senior Natalie Tucker leading the way. She shot a one-over-par 73, good for third place, individually. Tucker was one shot behind Martina Gillen of Kent State and Stacy Snider of Michigan State. \nSenior Inga Snyder finished in a tie for 11th place with a 77. Redshirt freshman Danah Ford tied for 13th with a 78. Freshman Ambry Bishop and junior Tiffany Fisher each shot 79, tying for 17th place. \nSophomore Adrienne Graessle also competed, firing a 92, but only the top four scores counted. \nMichigan State's 306 led the way, while IU shot a 307. Kent State, Arkansas State and Florida International all shot 310 and finished in a three-way tie for third. Fifteen teams competed in the tournament.
