RECAPPING THE 2025 MVC CHAMPIONSHIP
The 2025 MVC Championship at Annbriar Golf Course in Waterloo, Ill., was historic for Bradley. Jillian Cosler earned medalist honors in last year's tournament, firing a one-under-par 215 to win Bradley's seventh individual MVC title in program history and first since 2014. The tournament also saw freshman Peyton Coburn card a career-low-tying 224, finishing tied for 10th. She was one of two freshmen to finish in the top 10 in the field, and the first freshman Brave to do so since Taylor Ledwein finished fifth in 2017.

RECAPPING THE BOILERMAKER SPRING CLASSIC
The Braves closed the regular season at Purdue's Boilermaker Spring Classic in West Lafayette, Ind., last weekend. Allison Pacocha led all Braves, placing tied for 35th, as the team finished 14th.
