In a field that featured nationally ranked schools like University of Illinois and Middle Tennessee State University, Ball State finished with a 68 over par 920 over three rounds at Crooked Stick Golf Club. "It was a pretty frustrating weekend to be honest," coach Mike Fleck said. "The inconsistencies are getting to us. We haven't played to our potential this spring yet." No. 19 Illinois won the tournament with a seven over par. Fighting Illini junior Chirs DeForest was the top individual, shooting a six under par.Fleck said junior Eric Steger was the most consistent player at Crooked Stick. Steger finished at eight over par, tying for 14th. He shot a 71 in round one and a 73 in round three - the best scores for the Cardinals. Fleck said freshman Tony Lazzara and junior Anthony Novak had good rounds, but need to put the rounds together to be effective. Lazzara, a Carmel resident, finished tying for 44th, 21 over par.Heading into the MAC Championships, Fleck says the only player he is sure will be playing in the championships will be Steger "Two through five is up in the air right now," Fleck said. "We are playing inconsistently and we need guys to step up. We're going to spend the next week to figure things out and figure out what our line up will be."

Ball State University didn't quite show the consistency this weekend that coach Mike Fleck would have liked, but the Cardinals still played well enough to finish in second place out of 19 teams in the Hoosier Invitational hosted by Indiana University. "We've made some progress," Fleck said. "To finish where we did in this field is really what I expected. It's nice to kind of get it going in a nice direction now." Ball State shot an 874 (+22) in the three-round, two-day tournament to place second but was 36 strokes behind host Indiana, which won the invite with a score of 838 (-14). Fleck said all he was looking for was improvement after his team had sputtered a bit in its first two tournaments of the spring season. The Cardinals finished 12th out of 15 teams in the Pinehurst Intercollegiate in North Carolina on March 14 and followed that up last weekend by finishing eighth out of 15 teams in their own Cardinal Collegiate in Jasper, Ind. "With consistency, we did a little bit better job this weekend," Fleck said. "But it's still an issue that we need to address." Ball State's top golfer, junior Eric Steger, was the Cardinals' top individual performer in Bloomington. He shot a 68 in the opening round leading to a tie for seventh place with a 216 (+3).Steger was playing for the first time since being disqualified last weekend for turning in an incorrect scorecard in the first round. "Steger's our best player, and with that comes the expectation and the role of being just that," Fleck said. "Eric's going to be fine." Ball State's Anthony Novak and Eric Skillman tied for 21st individually with 221 (+8). Indiana's Chase Wright, a Delta High School graduate, claimed medalist honors by shooting a 204 (-9), including a third-round 66.The Cardinals return to action next Monday for the two-day Missouri Intercollegiate in Columbia, Mo.

Junior Brittany Kelly lead the team with a seventh-place finish and a score of 228.With strong teams, bad weather conditions and a course that was completely drenched, Mowat said playing was difficult but it was typical Midwest spring weather that the team was used to seeing. Mowat said she was a little disappointed in how the tournament was played, but she says the Cardinals will be ready for the next one.Host Georgia State University won the 13-team tournament with a 905, while Daytona State College and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock tied for second with a 919.Junior Rachael Pruett tied for 15th with a 232 and sophomore Kristtani Cain finished with a score of 243 to tie for 42nd place.Although the last three tournaments have been back-to-back, it hasn't broken the team's concentration."It's the nature of spring season, a pretty steady pace to play for two straight months," Mowat said. "We'll work really hard on the road and start focusing on the next event."The Cardinals' next tournament will be the Saluki Invitational in Carbondale, Ill. at the Hickory Ridge Golf Course on March 28-29.
