SIU’s ninth place finish matches the team’s best this season with their ninth place performance at the Hoover Invite in September. While that tournament consisted of only 11 teams, the Ozarks National Invitational had 15 teams participating.

With the completion of the Ozarks National Invitational on Oct. 20, Saluki women’s golf has finished its schedule for the 2021 calendar year. It will next compete in the Lady Bison Bay Point Classic in Panama City, Florida on Feb. 7-8.
