DALLAS, Texas – After three days of competition at the ORU/SFA Spring Break Shootout, the Bowling Green women's golf program finished 11th overall with a 54-hole score of 947, +83.

"We were not able to execute the way we needed in the closing holes today," Bowling Green women's golf head coach Stephanie Young said.
