ANGOLA, Ind. – The Capital University women's golf team traveled to the Trine Kickoff Classic on Tuesday afternoon to open the 2025-26 season for not just the team but all of Capital Athletics. There, the Comets put on a quality showing for their first time hitting the course this season.
As a unit, the Comets placed fifth in a field of nine teams after carding a team score of 357. The hosts, Trine, won the event with a score of 325.
Capital's round of 357 marked the lowest 18-hole score for the women's team since the opening round of the 2024 OAC Championship when they shot a 358 on May 3, 2024.
Emma Konopa started the year strong by firing a round of 81 which was good enough to place her in a three-way tie for fourth overall. The placement earned her a spot on the All-Tournament team as well.
Camryn Mauter was the next placer for Capital, finishing T-18th with a quality round of 87.
