After consecutive top-5 finishes to start the spring season, Oral Roberts found itself back atop the leaderboard Tuesday at the Jackrabbit Invitational.

The Golden Eagles, No. 72 in the Golfweek/Sagarin College Rankings, finished at 28-over 892 at Primm (Nev.) Valley Golf Club to beat Missouri State by two strokes and pick up their second victory of the season.

Drake senior Olivia Lansing, No. 273 in Golfweek’s rankings, shot a 1-under 71 in the final round to win the individual title, her fifth career victory. Lansing, who posted a three-day total of 3-under 213, was the only player to finish under par, leading Drake to a third-place finish in its second event of the spring. The Bulldogs placed 25th in the 33-team Edwin Watts/Kiawah Island Classic last month.

Oral Roberts tied for fourth at that event, and two weeks ago placed third at the Islander Spring Classic. The Golden Eagles were led this week by Kylie Bollenbach (70), who finished second at 2-over 218, and Megan O’Connell, who tied for fourth.

Kennesaw State, which placed fourth, had three players finish in the top 8.

Oral Roberts will play again March 29-30 at the UALR Golf Classic in Hot Springs, Ark.
