The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater women's golf season came to a close after the second round of the 2024 NCAA Division III Championship Thursday morning. The championship is held at the Keene Trace Golf Club in Nicholasville, Kentucky.
The Warhawks had to play a waiting game after multiple weather delays caused the second round to be suspended due to darkness Wednesday evening. UWW was one of the 14 teams to complete the round with 15 others had to wait until Thursday morning to resume play. As competition got back underway early Thursday, it was quickly delayed due to weather once again. However, once the teams were finally able to conclude the round and the scores were updated, UWW was 21st on the team leaderboard. The top 15 teams advance to the third round of the championship.
The team carded a 336 in round two led by a 79 from
Kallie Lux (Janesville, Wis./Craig).

Lily Sheppard (Sherwood, Wis./Kaukauna) (86),
Ellie Johnson (Johnsburg, Ill./Johnsburg) (90) and
