CROWN POINT, Ind. -- The Cardinal Women's Golf team claimed the championship at the 2019 Mike Lalaeff Memorial Invitational, hosted at the White Hawk Country Club in Crown Point, Indiana. Emily Barker won medalist honors as well to lead SVSU to its second team title of the season. 

SVSU followed up an opening day score of 328, where it had a one stroke lead, with a day two 310 to finish 12 strokes ahead of Davenport University. 

Barker started the day tied for seventh after a Saturday score of 83. She sealed her first title with an even-par 72 to finish at +11. That gave her a two-stroke win over Davenport's Jessica Niemiec after firing the lowest round on the day.

Alexa Marston was named to the all-tournament team as well, finishing third and three strokes behind Barker with twin rounds of 79. 

Sabrina Coffman and Katie Boyd finished in the top-10 for SVSU, with Coffman shooting scores of 83-80 to tie for seventh place. Boyd had rounds of 85-79 to tie for 10th overall. 

Right behind Boyd was Keegan Miller, who finished 12th overall with rounds of 83-83 in the event.
