Falcons Prepare For 18-Hole Event At YSU Spring Invitational
April 12, 2019 | Women's Golf
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – The Bowling Green State University women's golf team is set to compete at the YSU Spring Invitational on Saturday (April 13). The 18-hole event will be Bowling Green's last tune up before the upcoming 2019 MAC Championships.
COACH YOUNG QUOTE
"It's going to be the same way we've prepared all along. We have some team goals that we still really want to achieve. They are very important to us. We still have our sights set on that, but what we do on a day-to-day basis is just work hard, have fun, and play for each other. I think if we stick to that, then those outcomes and goals at the end are going to come true." – Head Coach Stephanie Young on the last two events of the 2018-19 season.
