Jackie Heslop leads the Northern Illinois women's golf team to fourth at the Huskie Classic

HUNTLEY, IL -- Jackie Heslop (Pequot Lakes, MN) shot a final-round 81 to tie for 10th overall and lead the Northern Illinois women’s golf team to a fourth-place finish at the 19th annual Huskie Classic hosted Monday (Oct. 6) by NIU at the Whisper Creek Golf Course.

After opening with a 7-over-par 79 on Sunday, Heslop shot an 81 during the final round on Monday to earn the top-10 placing. It’s Heslop’s second top-10 finish of the season, as she finished second at the Western Illinois Westerwind Classic (Sept. 12-13).

Following Heslop was Irish Whalen (Hanover/River Ridge) and Allison Williams (Hoffman Estates/Palatine Fremd), who each tied for 16th with two-day totals of 162. Whalen opened her round in great fashion, as she birdied the first hole and shot an impressive 39 on the front side enroute to shooting 82 for the round. Williams, playing as a member of the NIU Black team, shot the best round on any Huskie on Monday, as she recorded a 7-over-par 79 to move up the leaderboard.

Jackie Bailey (Decatur/Warrensburg-Latham) was NIU’s third finisher, as she shot a 1-over-par 37 on the front nine and carried that momentum to a final-round 80.

Lisa Bailey (Decatur/Warrensburg-Latham) and Jamie Carney (Rolling Meadows) rounded out the scoring for the Huskies. Lisa Bailey carded an 84 during her last round of the event to tie for 27th, while Carney shot 89 to tie for 34th.

This was the final event of the Fall season for the Northern Illinois women’s golf team.
