Senior
Taylor Skibinski (Michigan City, Ind. / Michigan City) closed out a top-10 finish in the tournament field by leading the Valparaiso University women's golf team for the second consecutive day on Monday at the Indiana State Spring Invitational, hosted by the Sycamores at the par-72, 5950-yard Country Club of Terre Haute. This tournament marked the team's final competitive rounds before the upcoming conference championship.
How It Happened
- Skibinski finished with a 36-hole score of 155, two strokes away from cracking the program's all-time top 10 in terms of 36-hole tournament score.

Skibinski tied for 10th of 39, attaining her second top-10 finish of the season along with the Windy City Invite (Oct. 6-7).
