BARTONVILLE, Ill. – Bradley Women's Golf placed second as a team at the fifth annual Coyote Creek Classic in Bartonville.

Teams battled windy weather in day one of the home tournament, but Bradley successfully navigated the conditions and found itself with a six-stroke lead after carding a 297 in round one. Round two closed with the Braves in second, seven strokes behind Butler, who fired a tournament-record 281 in the second round. The Braves and Bulldogs ultimately matched round three scores of 298, leading to Butler's second Coyote Creek Classic title in the event's history.

The Braves' tournament score of 889 is the program's lowest at the Coyote Creek Classic. The runner-up finish continues their stretch of finishing in the top three as a team in each of the last four home tournaments and top two.

Caroline McConnell led the Braves individually, finishing runner-up with a one-over-par 217. The senior from Pennsylvania has already surpassed her career-high for top-ten finishes in a season, holding three through four tournaments with no finishes lower than 13th. 

Jillian Cosler closed play just behind McConnell, notching her best finish of the season at third place. Cosler carded a three-over-par 219, five strokes lower than her score in the 2024 tournament. Allison Pacocha also finished in the top 10 for the first time this season, placing eighth with a score of 229.
