KEWADIN, Mich. (September 1, 2025) – Chicago State women's golf wrapped up its 2025–26 season opener at the A-Ga-Ming Invitational hosted by Central Michigan on Monday, gaining valuable early-season experience against a competitive field.
The Cougars finished
11th overall across three rounds on the Sundance Course. CSU showed steady improvement throughout the event, highlighted by strong par-three play and timely birdies. Chicago State carded
26 total birdies over the two-day tournament, ranking among the top half of the field in that category.
Individually,
Maria Quintero led the way with consistency, finishing tied for 28th in pars (32) and collecting six birdies throughout the event.
Almudena Agüera displayed her scoring ability by recording eight birdies, while
Begona Perez matched Maria with six birdies of her own. Junior
Aarushi Bhanot contributed four birdies for Chicago State, and
Gia Lamba gained valuable rounds in her first fall competition as well.
As a team, Chicago State also ranked
second in the field for bogeys-or-better (83), a mark of their ability to keep rounds steady and avoid big numbers.
The Cougars will look to build on this momentum as they continue their fall slate, using the A-Ga-Ming Invitational as a springboard for growth and competitive confidence.
