Iowa State also planned to hold a ceremony at halftime to award Barquin Arozamena a posthumous diploma with a bachelor's degree in civil engineering, according to Molly Sequin of NCAA.com.

According to the Associated Press (h/t ESPN.com), "Richards stabbed Barquin Arozamena and left her body in a pond on the course."

When Barquin Arozamena won the Big 12 Championship in April, the native of Puente San Miguel, Spain, became just the second player in program history to win a conference title. She earned a trio of first-team All-Big 12 honors as well as three first-team Academic All-Big 12 nods. She also broke the Iowa State record for career stroke average (73.4).
