FROM THE CLUBHOUSE
"I'm proud of the team for fighting until the end and staying patient. For the second event in a row, we found ourselves in the final pairings and mix for the team title. The Merit Club was a fantastic test for us, and the conditions were tough. I'm really excited about this team, and we are continuing to learn and grow through every round we play. Congratulations to Ava O'Sullivan for another fantastic event to secure the runner-up award and Sammie Dolce for a top-10 finish. We have a full week and a half until our final event of the fall and the plan is to give our bodies some rest and clean up a few things to be best prepared going into Wofford's event." – Erin Fahey, BGSU women's golf head coach
