SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Wichita State posted a near program-best team score on their way to a second-place finish at the Payne Stewart Memorial Tuesday. 
 
The Shockers runner up finish came behind round scores of 301, 290, and 290, firing an 881 (+27) for the week. It's the highest team finish for the Shockers since October of 2022, when the Shockers won Creighton's Big 'O' Classic. The team score of 881 is the third best in Shocker history, just six strokes off tying the team record set in March of 2019. 
 
Only tournament host Missouri State topped the Shockers, posting an 867 (+15) score to take the team crown.
 
For the Shockers individually, Mackenzie Wilson led the way, finishing tied for eighth on the leaderboard. Her teammates weren't far behind her as no Shocker finished lower than 22nd on the individual leaderboard.
 
Kate Tilma saved her best golf for last, recording an even par 71 in the final round after posting back-to-back 78 scores in the first two rounds. Her closing act boosted her up 21 spots on the leaderboard.
 
Manon Guille bounced back from a woeful 80 in her opening round, notching back-to-back 72s in her latter two trips around the course.
 
Amelie Paul and Kayla Van de Ven finished 13th and 14th respectfully, each picking up their second top 20 finish on the year. 
 
Making her collegiate debut competing as an individual, Magdalena Domine tied for 22nd in her first college golf tournament, including posting a 70 (-1) mark in round two.
 
The Shockers have finished in the team top five in their first two tournaments of the season, something that has not happened since 2017. The team also topped American Conference foe, Memphis. Their first encounter and win over a team in the American this season.
