The Bowling Green State University women's golf team will tee it up at the Grand Prairie Collegiate Classic, hosted by Bradley University. The three-day event will take place on April 4-6 in Peoria, Ill.
Competing with the Orange and Brown this weekend will be: Bradley, Chicago State, Drake, Eastern Illinois, Indiana State, Loyola-Chicago, Missouri State, Northern Illinois, Northern Iowa, Ohio, Southern Illinois, Western Illinois and Wisconsin-Green Bay.
All six Falcons will compete in the field, with the top four scores counting for each squad.
It's Been a While
It has been nearly a month since the last time the Falcons hit the links, dating back to the Duramed Collegiate Invitational on Mar 6-8. While the month layoff may seem like a long time, the Falcons won't take long to catch up as they will play in three tournaments in a nine-day span: Grand Prairie Collegiate (Apr. 5-6), EKU Lady Colonel Classic (Apr. 11-12) and the Falcons Invitational (Apr. 14-15).
A Few Notes on the Team
• The Falcons are currently averaging 324.27 through seven tournaments this season. The current BGSU school record for team average is 323.36, established by last year's squad.
• Megan Gormley, who is averaging 80.61 through 18 round this season is less than a stroke off establishing her name in the BGSU record books. Jenny Schnipke (78.54), Jessica McCann (79.32) and Shelly Binzel (79.82) currently occupy the top three spots in season average, but Gormley is hot on their tails.
