The Illinois Springfield women's golf team finished third at the Kansas City Cup after Tuesday's final round was canceled due to rain and unplayable course conditions. The event was held at Paradise Pointe Golf Complex in Smithville, Mo.

"Our third round was canceled due to rain and unplayable course conditions after five holes. It's tough because the team was ready to compete, and it's hard to leave without getting the chance to climb back toward the top of the leaderboard," assistant coach Julie Hofmanova said. "I'm proud of their resilience and their readiness to play in tough conditions. Days like this will only make us better and prepare us for the next one."

UIS posted rounds of 310 and 313 for a 36-hole total of 623. McKendree claimed the team title with a score of 614, while Maryville finished runner-up at 615.

The Prairie Stars were led by Elaine Grant, who tied for second overall in the individual standings with a 148 total. Grant shot 76 in the opening round and followed with an even stronger 72-stroke second round to close at 2-over-par.

Lia Rody tied for ninth after rounds of 76 and 81 for a 157 total, while Valentina Torrealba tied for 12th with a 159, improving by one stroke in the second round.

Ira Joshi placed 16th at 162 with rounds of 78 and 84, and Yi-Ting Hsieh tied for 21st at 167, highlighted by an 81 in the second round. Playing as an individual, Fizreen Ahmadfadzir tied for 27th after carding 93 and 83 for a total of 176.
