Illinois Wesleyan senior Gail Nelson (Frankfort, Lincoln-Way HS) set a new individual scoring record with her two-day total of 152 as the Titans won their first-ever College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin women's golf title. Nelson was second last year, sixth in 2000, and ninth in the 1999 tournament.
The previous tourney record was 159 by Millikin's Stephanie Feeney in 2000.
As a team, IWU had finished second in 2001, 1999, 1998 and 1997 and was third in 2000 and 1996 (the first year for the sport in the league). Jodi Smallenberger was IWU's only previous medalist with her two-day score of 162 in 1998.
The Titans were sixth in the national Division III tournament in 2000 and 10th in the national meet in 2002.
