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.

The common theme surrounding the men's golf team this fall season has been starting off slow, but finishing strong. Despite the second-lowest team score in the third round at the Xavier Renaissance Invitational in Fort Myers, Fla., Ball State finished sixth out of 12 teams. The Cardinals posted a team-combined score of 851, 19 strokes behind winner Indiana University."Overall we did a lot of good things," coach Mike Fleck said. "It's not that we played poorly, but that we didn't get the low scores relative to the rest of the field. Over the last 36 holes of the tournament, we were as good as any team scoring wise. If we would have gotten a better first round score, we would have finished much better."Fleck says the competition played a role in where Ball State finished. Golfing against nationally known teams, such as Indiana and Penn State University, made the field much more difficult. Fleck knows it was the toughest competition his players have faced since the first tournament on Sept. 12. Indiana and Penn State finished first and second, respectively."Obviously the field was pretty good," Fleck said. "It was the second best field all season other than the Wolf Run Intercollegiate. There was a solid mix of national teams and other teams."The par-72, 7,026-yard course invitational contained two other Mid-American Conference teams. Miami University beat Ball State by one stroke, shooting a score of 850. Bowling Green State University finished in last place with a score of 880.Junior Eric Steger tied for fifth individually out of 65 competitors. Steger shot a 75, 64, 65 for a score of 204, which put him 12 under par."We started off slow and put ourselves under the shovel again," Steger said. "The last two rounds, however, were different because we played well. Overall, it wasn't too bad of a tournament though."Because the Renaissance Invitational concludes Ball State's fall season, Fleck hopes the coming months will allow his players to rest and prepare for the spring schedule."I am very optimistic looking forward to the spring season," Fleck said. "We have definitely identified a lot of things this season. We had a lot of question marks back in August, but we have also answered a lot, especially with the help from our freshman class. In addition, Steger had one of the better fall seasons I have seen since I've been coaching. And, Ross Cosat has been Ross Cosat: Mr. Consistent."Steger hopes to relax and finish the semester, while preparing for the spring."We had a productive season," Steger said. "We'll head into the winter expecting great things to come. We just need to sit down and see where we can improve."Despite having only one senior golfer, Fleck has been pleased with the depth on his roster."We have six or seven guys that have contributed and will continue to work and get better this winter," Fleck said. "I will identify some areas to work on and expect that these guys prepare. Just like any other sport, you constantly have to work to get better. And we will be doing anything and everything to prepare and become a better team."
