Final Results
NOBLESVILLE, Ind. – The Bowling Green State University women's golf team finished its fall season on Monday (Oct. 15) on a high note, as the program moved up the leaderboard at the MAC Fall Preview to finish in fifth place out of 12 schools. Over the course of the fall season, which featured five events, Bowling Green went 13-5 versus MAC competition.
Xavier posted a team score of 883 to win the MAC Fall Preview, edging Toledo by two strokes. Central Michigan (901) hosted the event and finished in third. The 54 holes were played at Purgatory Golf Club – the same course that will host the 2019 MAC Championships.
The Falcons carded a 313 today to move ahead of Eastern Michigan. The Eagles had a one-stroke lead over Bowling Green heading into today's final round. Julia Durkin, who was BGSU's top player on the leaderboard heading into the day, picked up right where she left off, as she shot a team-low 77 on the day to finish tied for 12th on the individual leaderboard. Durkin carded one birdie apiece on the front nine, and the back nine.
Jessica Madry and Katie Whitfield finished their fall seasons by tying for 28th. The pair of Falcons both shot 79 on the day, and carded two birdies and three birdies, respectively. Erin Fahey racked up two birdies on the front nine to finish 34th, while Sammi Blackburn birdied the par-4 No. 15, ending the tournament tied for 39th. Nichole Cox (T-39) closed out her fall season in great form, shooting a 78 on the day to move up 14 spots on the individual leaderboard.
COACH YOUNG QUOTE
"It was a tough day with the high winds and cold temperatures, but we were proud of the team's toughness and fight to the end. Overall, we were able to move up a spot and finish the season with another solid performance in a competitive field.
"This has been a great fall season with all of our finishes being in the top half of the field, on top of a win as a team and individually at the Shirley Spork Invitational. We will now take the next couple months to strategize and put the work in to be ready for our spring events starting Feb. 2."
