Jackie Bailey Paces Northern Illinois Women's Golf To Seventh At Illini Spring Classic

URBANA, IL -- On Friday, Northern Illinois women’s golf head coach Pam Tyska got the complete team effort she had been searching for. Saturday, the team’s consistency came through, as the Huskies fired a final-round 312 to finish seventh at the 12-team Illini Spring Classic in Urbana, IL.

Jackie Bailey equaled a season low with a final-round 75 to tie for 17th. After opening the day in 20th place, Bailey toured the par-72 Stone Creek Golf Course in 3-over-par fashion to move up three spots in the final standings. That finish was a season best for Bailey, who tied for 18th at the Western Illinois Westerwind Classic on Sept. 12, 2003.

Jackie Heslop made the biggest jump up the leaderboard on Saturday, after firing a 4-over-par 76. Tied for 36th entering the day, Heslop knocked five strokes off her opening round score (81) to tie for 26th with teammate Lisa Bailey. While a final-round 81 pushed Bailey back to 26th, the freshman still earned the fourth top-30 showing of her rookie campaign.

Jamie Carney and Ally Williams both improved by one shot during Saturday’s finale. Carney finished with a two-day total of 161 to tie for 39th, while Williams shot 84 during the final round to tie for 51st.

This was the final tune-up for the NIU women’s golf team before the 2004 Mid-American Conference Championships. The Huskies will travel to Indian Springs, OH, to participate in the April 23-25 MAC Championships, which will be hosted at the Walden Ponds Golf Course.
