The Butler women were able to hold onto third place as they wrapped up hosting their Fall Invitational at their home Highland Country Club course.
 
The 54-event over the last two days marked the only home event on the 2025-26 schedule for the Bulldogs.
 
After rounds of 290 and 291 Monday, the Bulldogs surrendered one spot on the team leaderboard after a Tuesday 307. Marian won the team title at 869 (+29); Akron placed second (875), one spot ahead of Butler (888; +48). There were 14 teams in the field.  
 
Freshman Addi Kooi and junior Ashley Freitas led the Butler effort, tying for seventh at nine-over 219. Kooi shot a three-over 73 to post the best Tuesday score among the Bulldogs. Freitas, playing as an individual, relied on a pair of one-over 71 rounds Monday on the 6,040-yard Highland course.
 
Dayton's Kylee Heidemann, who held a six-shot lead after Monday's 36 holes, found herself in a playoff with Akron's Maisarah Hezri Tuesday afternoon. Both players finished the 54^th hole at one-over 211. Heidemann used a birdie on the fourth playoff hole (No. 18) to win the playoff.
