CHICAGO, Ill. - Cleveland State senior Micaela Cronin tied the school record with a final round 72 and set the CSU 36 hole record with a 146 en route to a runner-up finish at the Chicago State Cougar Classic that concluded on Tuesday at the par-72, 5,914-yard Haborside International Golf Course.

As a team, the Vikings finished fourth in the 13 team field, carding rounds of 315-307 (622). Today's final round 307 was the second lowest round in program history, topped by a 305 at the BGSU Falcon Invitational on April 14, 2013.

Cronin followed yesterday's 74 with a 72 today, tying the lowest round in school history that was set by Katie Broere on March 14, 2008, at the Northern Illinois Invitational. Cronin finished as the individual runner-up, just one shot behind medalist Brooke Melvin of Chicago State who shot 75-70 (145).

Cronin's 146 total shattered the old 36 hole school record of 152 which was shared by Ariel Sparrow and Madeline Kaminski.

Senior Shelly Ford fired a career-low 73 in today's final round, tying the second lowest round in school history, en route to a tie for 14th place (81-73-154).

Sophomore Allyson Hackman tied for eighth place at 153 (75-78).

The Vikings will be back in action on Monday and Tuesday (Sept. 23-24), hosting the CSU Invitational at Pine Hills G.C. The seven team field - CSU, Bowling Green, Detroit, Youngstown State, Robert Morris, Niagara and St. Francis - will play 18 holes each day with a shotgun start at 9:30 a.m.
