INDIANAPOLIS -The Northern Illinois University women's golf team holds at seventh place after the third round of the 2008 MAC Women's Golf Championship at Brickyard Crossing hosted by Northern Illinois University. The Huskies shot a 329 Saturday and have a three-round total of 986.

Sophmore Kim Hunley (Aurora, Ill./West Aurora) led the way for the Huskies, shooting an 80 (39-41). Hunley, who has posted a three-round total 239, remains tied for 12th with two other golfers. Senior Abbie Many (Mt. Prospect, Ill./Prospect) slipped two spots to 21st after shooting a third-round 81 and has a three-round score of 242. Freshman Jessica Parmenter (Peoria, Ill./Peoria Christian) moved up two spots to a tie for 34th after shooting an 82, a tournament low for her, Saturday and sits at 254 heading into the final round.

"It was a tough day from start to finish," NIU head coach Pam Tyska said. "We didn't manage the conditions and the course very well. So far, the preparation and the state that they were in ready to play, we haven't seen that in most of our players. We are looking forward to get them into their comfort zone. We need to just stay focused on each shot and stay focused on what they need to do to have better course management."

Defending champions Kent State continues to lead shooting an 897 after three rounds of play. Kent State's Kirby Dreher leads the field after shooting a 222 (74-74-74). Teammate Tara Delaney moved into second, two shots off the lead after turning in a 75 in the third round.
