OMAHA, Neb. -- The Creighton women's golf team closed out its fall season with a runner-up finish at the Big O Classic on Tuesday afternoon at Oak Hills Country Club.
The Bluejays (316-308-304=928) shot the best round of any team in the field on Tuesday to move into second place and finish just 17 shots behind tournament champion Omaha (301-304-306=911). CU's final round 304 was the program's best on the Oak Hills course since the final round of the Creighton Classic on Oct. 12, 2021 when it shot a 294.
Creighton showed off its tremendous depth, as three women finished tied for seventh and two others in a tie for 14th place. Eight of the nine Bluejays who played in the tournament fired at least one score in the 70s.
Sophomore Madison Murnan (81-77-75) and seniors Annie Dawson (78-77-78) and Abby Aeschleman (81-77-75) all fired a 233 total to tie for seventh as each woman picked up the first Top 10 finish of their career. Aeschleman's score came in her first tournament of the fall and was also the best 54-hole aggregate of her career. It was Dawson's best score since February of 2025. Murnan finished tied for second in the field with 36 pars in her 54 holes.
Julia Karmazin (79-80-76) and Karsen Morrison (80-77-78) both tied for 14th place with a 235 total. Rounding out CU's scoring contingent was Katharine Marshall, who shot rounds of 79, 91 and 80 to place 35th with a 250 total.
Three additional Bluejays made their season debuts and competed as individuals.Adalyn Wiig (77-81-80=238) tied for 21st place and had CU's best opening round. Adysn Schachtel (84-76-84=244) tied for 28th with a 244 aggregate, and her 76 was CU's top second round. Smith tied for 48th in her first rounds in competition for CU since April.
Omaha's Eden Larson (69-70-80=219) topped the 52-player field by nine shots over runner-up North Dakota's Payton Stocker (77-76-75=228). Seven teams competed on the Par 72 layout that measured 6,107 yards.
Karmazin finished the fall leading CU with a 76.92 scoring average in 12 rounds, just ahead of Aeschleman (77.67) and Murnan (78.42). CU's 310.7 scoring average to date is its fourth-best mark in the past 25 seasons.
