The Lake Forest College women's golf team competed at North Central College's Cardinal Classic on Monday and Tuesday and came home with a fourth-place finish at the 11-team event. The tournament was held at Bolingbrook Golf Club in Bolingbrook, Illinois.

The Foresters were fifth in the standings after the opening round but climbed a spot on Tuesday thank in part to a 3-over 75 from junior Gabrielle Krebs. The junior had 13 pars on the day, including seven in a row to start her round, and birdied the 319-yard, par-4 14th hole. Her second round total matched the eighth-best round in program history and moved her up seven spots in the individual standings into a tie for ninth place at 160.

Freshman Libby Hearst was next on the team and tied-for-14th at the 77-player event with a 36-hole score of 165. Alijah Campbell finished 26th at 169 and freshman Amanda Adley tied-for-40th at 179. Junior Ashlyn Bhatia's 87 on Monday contributed to Lake Forest's team score and she completed the tournament in 45th at 182.

Washington University-St. Louis won the event with a two-day total of 615, which was 24 shots better than runner-up Illinois Wesleyan University. Aurora University was third at 652 and, at 672, the Foresters edged out Carthage College for fourth by two strokes.

Lake Forest will close out the 2024-25 season at Augustana College's Viking Invitational next weekend. Saturday's opening round at Highland Springs Golf Course in Rock Island, Illinois, will begin at 1:00 in the afternoon and Sunday's final round at 8:00 a.m.
