PEORIA, Ariz. – The University of Iowa women’s golf team wrapped up a record-breaking weekend at the Westbrook Spring Invitational on Monday at the Westbrook Village Golf Club. The Hawkeyes finished with team 18 and 54-hole school records and two individuals broke the top 54-hole program mark.
Iowa fired a nine-under par 279 — the top round in program history – with four players finishing the day with sub-par rounds. It is the second straight team-record round as the Hawkeyes fired a 280 during Sunday’s second round.
Iowa finished with an 847 total (288-280-279) over the two-day event, shattering the previous mark of 864, which was set at the Johnie Imes Invitational in 2015.
Two individuals – sophomore Madison Dabagia and junior Paula Miranda – posted 54-hole scores of 209 to break the school record score of 211. The top mark was previously held by sophomore Shannyn Vogler (2023) and Amy Ihm (2016).
Iowa improved every round of the tournament, opening with a 288 (+2) and 280 (-8) on Sunday before posting four sub-par rounds (five total including individual Ximena Benites) to fire the nine-under par 279 on Monday. The 279 and 280 are the top two rounds in program history.
The Hawkeyes finished the tournament in ninth place out of 14 teams at 17-under par. Kansas won the team title with a 43-under par 821 (277-269-275).
Dabagia had a team-best five birdies during her final round en route to a three-under par 69, while Miranda had a bogey-free day with 15 pars and three birdies to match the 69. Both players tied for 18th place with seven-under par 209s.
Miranda finished in the red in all three rounds (71-69-69), while Dabagia had two sub-par rounds to go along with an even par 72 (68-72-69). Dabagia has been at or below par in five of her six rounds at Westbrook the last two seasons.
The top 20 finish is the second of the season for Dabagia and the third of her career. It was Miranda’s first top-20 showing and the fifth such finish of her Hawkeye career.
The Hawkeyes also got sub-par rounds Monday from sophomore Riley Lewis (70, -2), sophomore Kaitlyn Hanna (71, -1) and Benites (70, -2). Benites’ round was a career best. All three players also posted career-low 54-hole totals (Lewis, 215; Hanna, 216; Benites, 216).
Wisconsin’s Chloe Chan was the individual medalist as she shot a seven-under par 65 to take the title. She finished the tournament with a 14-under par 202.

The Hawkeyes return to action March 4-5, traveling to Jacksonville, Florida, for the Momentum Transportation UNF Collegiate.
The Atlantic Trojans girls basketball team got themselves a little momentum this post season when they got a first round win over the Southeast Valley Jaguars. In the second round they ran into a very good Cherokee-Washington team, and lost the game 55-44 to end their season. The Trojans ended the season with a 9-14 overall record and went 4-6 in the Hawkeye 10 Conference.
The Trojans were led in scoring this season by junior Paytn Harter, who had scored 373 points this season and averaged 16 points a game.
The Trojans did have one big milestone during the season, when junior Paytn Harter scored her 1,000th point in her high school career in the game against Harlan.
The Trojans will lose four girls to graduation this year: Avery Knuth, Claire Pellett, Belle Berg and Keeley Peterson will move on their next high school sport this spring and move onto their next phase of their careers.
Trojans girls head coach Dan Vargason message to the team after their second round loss to Cherokee-Washington in the Class 3A – Region 7 game.
Coach Vargason said he has had a little family time now since the season is over and having the end of the season banquet was a good time to reflect on his team’s season.
Coach Vargason said this years seniors were a fun group to work with.
Coach Vargeson also mentioned a few of the players that will be coming back for next season.
Coach Vargason also wanted to give credit to the parents who came out and supported the Trojans this season.
The Trojans coaches hope the girls work on their game over the spring and summer and take advantage of any open gyms as much as possible during the off season.
Iowa needs a strong finish to have any chance at the NCAA Tournament and it begins at home on Tuesday night against Penn State. The Hawkeyes are 8-9 in the Big 10 after Saturday’s loss at 13th ranked Illinois and committed 18 turnovers against the Nittany Lion pressure defense in an 89-79 loss at Penn State earlier this month.
That’s Iowa coach Fran McCaffery. Under first year coach Mike Rhoades the Nittany Lions are 8-9 in the league race and coming off wins over Illinois and Indiana.
McCaffery says the Hawkeyes are not focused on how many wins it may take to get into the NCAA Tournament.
The Northern Iowa Panthers are at home on Tuesday night to host Valparaiso. The Panthers are tied for fifth in the Missouri Valley race at 10-8 after a dominating win at home over Drake.
That’s UNI coach Ben Jacobson. A key for the Panthers in their 91-77 win over the Bulldogs as the play of junior forward Tytan Anderson who finished with 18 points and 18 rebounds.
Valpo is at the bottom of the Valley standings at 2-16 and the Panthers cruised to an 86-67 win over the Beacons on the road two weeks ago.
UNI will close the regular season on Sunday at Southern Illinois.
