MEDINAH, Ill. – The Indiana Hoosiers women's golf team outlasted Ole Miss (841, -23) and Missouri (847, -17), two programs that finished the 2025-26 season ranked inside the top-30, to claim victory at the Illini Women's Invitational at Medinah. IU shot an 840 (278-282-280; -24) at the Medinah Country Club.
The team triumph is the second under head coach Brian May (2024 Big Ten Championships). In five seasons at the helm, May has guided the Hoosiers to seven team finishes inside the top three.
Indiana shattered the team's three-round score record, besting the previous mark (847 at the 2015 Las Vegas Collegiate Showdown) by seven strokes. All three team rounds played rank inside the top-12 of program history. The opening round 278 (-10) is the third-best round played by the Indiana women's golf program.
