SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- The Creighton women's golf team placed 13th at the MSU/Payne Stewart Memorial, which wrapped up on Tuesday at Twin Oaks Country Club in Springfield, Mo.

Fifteen teams and 98 competitors played in the event, which was held on a par 71 course that measured 6,001 yards.

For the second straight week, Katie Allen was CU's top performer. The freshman from Phoenix, Ariz., followed up an opening round 82 with back-to-back 75s to tie for 42nd place.

After an opening round 85, senior Sydney Gillespie improved to a second-round 75 and a final round 78. She tied for 58th place with a 238 total.
